Echo Remediation Ltd. has a new reduction cell that uses sulfur and bacteria to remove heavy metals and acidity from mine leachates, but development is now required to make it viable. The project aims to optimise the process using molecular approaches to study the effects of operating conditions on the bacterial communities. As part of the investigation, active iron reducers will be selected and introduced to the cell (in conjunction with chemical amendments) and their colonization monitored. The new technology once developed has the potential to be used at mine sites in Australia and overseas and its employment offers a sustainable, biological "green" approach to mine waste remediation.

ECHO REMEDIATION Ltd.有一种新的还原单元，它使用硫磺和细菌来去除矿山渗滤液中的重金属和酸度，但现在需要开发才能使其可行。该项目旨在利用分子方法优化这一过程，以研究操作条件对细菌群落的影响。作为调查的一部分，将选择活性铁还原剂并将其引入电池(与化学改良剂一起)，并监测其定植情况。这项新技术一旦开发出来，就有可能在澳大利亚和海外的矿场使用，它的就业为矿山废物修复提供了一种可持续的、生物的“绿色”方法。
