Functional CdS nanocomposites recovered from biomineralization treatment of sulfate wastewater and its applications in the perspective of photocatalysis and electrochemistry

The sulfur ions generated during the microbial treatment of sulfate wastewater could cause secondary pollution problem, however, the application of the biomineralization technique could convert sulfur ions into sulfide nanocomposites with diverse properties. This study constructed a multi-stage process for sulfate wastewater treatment and CdS nanocomposites (CdS-NCs) recovery by using biomineralization, which simultaneously achieved the removal...
