Population dynamics of iron-oxidizing communities in pilot plants for the treatment of acid mine waters

The iron-oxidizing microbial community in two pilot plants for the treatment of acid mine water was monitored to investigate the influence of different process parameters such as pH, iron concentration, and retention time on the stability of the system to evaluate the applicability of this treatment...
