ur first goal is to create a bacterium that is able to absorb and encapsulate metals and that floats. In this way one would be able to separate the metals and the sediment.

ur first goal is to create a bacterium that is able to absorb and encapsulate metals and that floats. In this way one would be able to separate the metals and the sediment. Simply put the bacteria and the sediment in large container stir them together and let the cleaned sediment sink and scoop of the floating metal filled bacteria. Such a purification plant would look similar like the sewage disposal plants that we use today. Simply inject the bacteria in the sediment, let the bacteria that are full of metals float to the surface and collect them further downstream with the help floaters which are now used to contain oil pollution in the sea.
