Acid mine drainage (AMD) is the biggest environmental problem of water related to the mining industry in many countries. Recently, coal mining and mineral mining industries use various AMD treatment systems. The main problem, however, is the very expensive and long retention times for treatment of AMD. For this reason, biosorption technology has been tested recently as a promising method for AMD treatment. The authors review presently available or potential biosorption methods to remove and detoxify toxic heavy metals and organic pollutants from AMD. Biosorption technology is evolving as an attractive option to supplement conventional AMD treatment. However, a literature review indicates that there is a lack of studies examining biosorption of AMD treatment. This paper examines a range of subjects, including laboratory scale experiments and the commercial application of biosorption for treatment of AMD. Our review paper will help direct future studies on the development of biosorption technology for treating AMD.

酸性矿山排水 (AMD) 是许多国家与采矿业相关的最大水环境问题。最近，煤炭开采和矿产开采行业使用各种 AMD 处理系统。然而，主要问题是治疗 AMD 的费用非常昂贵且保留时间长。出于这个原因，生物吸附技术最近被测试为一种有前途的 AMD 治疗方法。作者回顾了目前可用或潜在的生物吸附方法来去除和解毒来自 AMD 的有毒重金属和有机污染物。生物吸附技术正在发展成为补充常规 AMD 治疗的有吸引力的选择。然而，文献综述表明缺乏研究 AMD 治疗的生物吸附。本文考察了一系列主题，包括实验室规模的实验和生物吸附治疗 AMD 的商业应用。我们的评论论文将有助于指导未来研究用于治疗 AMD 的生物吸附技术的发展。
