Freeport - McMoRan: Dig Into Mining - Microbial Mining
In this activity, students explore the role biological technology plays in mining and wastewater treatment.
Students research how microorganisms are being used to treat and restore metal-contaminated waste water through direct
and indirect bacterial leaching mediated by chemical reactions. In addition, they predict and explain the outcome
of an oxidation-reduction reaction involving the metal iron.
Students will explore the role biological technology plays in mining and wastewater treatment by researching how microorganisms are being used to treat and restore metal-contaminated wastewater.
