Advanced biochemical processes for geothermal brines; Annual report FY 1989
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:720180
A laboratory effort to develop methods for the utilization and/or low cost environmentally acceptable disposal of toxic geothermal residues has been established at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). In this work, microorganisms which can interact with toxic metals found in geothermal residual brine sludges and which can convert them into soluble species for subsequent reinjection or concentration are being identified. Data generated in this work serve as models for the development of technically and economically feasible detoxification processes leading to advanced biotechnology for geothermal waste treatment. It is anticipated that the new biotechnology will reduce significantly the cost of surface disposal of sludges derived from geothermal brines. 6 refs., 28 figs.
