摘要: In the last decade, Mozambique became one of the top coal producers in Africa. The coal mines are Moatize district center country, inside the lower Zambezi river basin. Pollution due to mining activities has negative impacts agriculture, fishing, water supply, and presents risks public health. is largest cassava world. More than 1.5 million tons cassava peel are generated country and this agro-waste discarded. The aim this study discuss possibility using treat mine water. Cassava can be used as carbon sources for sulfate reducing bacteria in bioremediation, an adsorbent a filter medium. An integrated method proposed treatment in Moatize. It was suggested that applying generated in developing countries could good solution to protect environment against pollution.
