Abstract
Since many industries are generating toxic heavy metal ions, the environment is continuously polluted involuntarily or voluntarily, in particular in order to increase the degree of comfort of people. Besides classical methods of decontamination, it should also be used the microorganisms in the process of environment greening.
This chapter brings into discussion the studies regarding bioremediation of samples contaminated with only one type of heavy metal ions like lead, cadmium, or chromium and modeling of the biosorption process of heavy metals with the help of kinetic models and isotherm models. Also, it concerns about the synergic action of Pseudomonas species in the presence of other microorganisms or materials. The efficiency of new biosorbents designed with the help of Pseudomonas was evaluated in accordance with the toxicological limits regulated by the internationally authorized control bodies.
