Heavy metal biosorption can be well classified under bioremediation as well as adsorption. Bioremediation may be appropriately associated because of the environmental hazard caused by heavy metals. Precious metal recovery by biosorption is more important monetarily rather than associated environmental hazard. So in this respect, is biosorption of precious metals from simulated samples a remediation process or an adsorption process more appropriately?
Depends on how you want to present your paper - from a bioremediation emphasis testing different contaminated water samples or you tested different adsorption materials with the test sample. Either way, both types of journals seem to publish papers as can be seen from a few links given below. Decide which types of journals you wish to submit and then submit.

Yes, If you mean you have an article about this issue that you want to submit in proper journals.Surely yes. Even you can submit it in different variety of journals that their title related to the environment issues.

First of all, biosorption of precious metal is termed as Phytomining rather than calling it Phytoremediation. As here, you are not removing any waste material; you are collecting the precious metal using plant biomass. For plant based remediation technique, there is a very specific journal available, eg; Intl. Journal of Phytoremediation.

But it also depends what kind of new information you are providing by this scientific article. If you have discovered new biosorption technique, in such case you should definitely focus for bisoroption related journal. Otherwise, the journal related with Phytoremediation, Enviornmental Sci & Tech, Ecological Engineering are better choice for it.
Wish you all the best
Yo lo consideraría como un proceso de Adsorción, ya que en Perú estamos tratando minerales de Oro de baja ley (
I would consider it as an adsorption process , because in Peru are trying gold ores low grade (

Hi Kruti, here's the translation of Edwilde's message. You had it almost right, but I decided to give you one closer to the orignal message. As to the rest, if I may express my opinion, I agree with Mohan: the choice of term is yours, because it depends on the aim of your work and by all means, if the aim is the recovery of gold, silver or any other metal, rather than the amendment of water or soils, the term suggested by Arifin sound attractive, and I would definitely use as part of the title of any paper you might be planning on your results.
but I digress: here goes the translation, and good luck.

Thank you Mohan Thampi and Mohammad T. Raad for the links. Research and review papers will be very useful.
Thank you Arifin Sandhi for the suggestion. i would only like to add that biosorption is not just restricted to plant biomass. Use of bacteria, fungi, algae, plant biomass as well as biomass of animal origin for precious as well as heavy metals and radionuclides is well documented.
Biosorption of preciousn metal can definitely be called biomining.
Dear Ms. Shah
I think you have option to published in Journals related to Biosrption,processbiochemistry.Bioresource technology
