Abstract
The main aim of the proposed project is to search for the modern, efficient and cost-effective way for removing mercury from contaminated sites of Idrija. It is well known that microorganisms have an important role in tranformation processes at that area and that knowledge will be used for final removal of mercury from the environment. A pilot micro plant for microbiological clean-up of mercury contaminated soil by mercury-resistant microbes extracted from contaminated area in Idrija will be introduced. Carefully optimisation all crucial parameters for its optimum operation will be performed. We will develop and optimize the methods for characterization of mercury forms and following transformation processes during the pilot plant operation.
