A natural bioprocess is characterized by a safe effect on

Several factors could affect the efficiency of the

technique for treating wastes

Elimination of toxic metals to be achieved could take a

lot of time

Cost-effectiveness is one of the most bioremediation Limited to those contaminates that can be

Several types of pollutants could be eliminated at the Biodegradation capacity and efficiency cannot be
