The invention discloses a method for treating heavy 
metal wastewater. The method comprises the following steps: (1) immobilizing mixed 
bacteria of 
pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes and 
saccharomyces cerevisiae, collected after mixed 
fermentation culture, into immobilized 
cell spheres, wherein the appearances of the immobilized 
cell spheres are spherical, and the interiors of the immobilized 
cell spheres are of a porous mesh structure; (2) adding a 
rhizopus oryzae 
spore suspension liquid into 
starch bearing material 
hydrolysate as a culture medium at the pH of 3-6, carrying out shake cultivation for 24-48 hours, filtering to collect 
rhizopus oryzae 
mycelium spheres with the diameters of 50-100 microns; (3) filling a biological adsorber with the immobilized cell spheres and the 
rhizopus oryzae 
mycelium spheres, wherein the biological adsorber is formed by virtue of series connection of multiple adsorption columns; and (4) after regulating the initial heavy 
metal ion concentration of heavy 
metal wastewater to be less than or equal to 800mg / L and the pH value to be 5-7, enabling heavy metal 
wastewater to flow through the biological adsorber, wherein the 
hydraulic retention time in each adsorption column is 0.5h-1h. According to the method, different 
heavy metals (Cd<2+>, Hg<2+>, Cu<2+>, Zn<2+>, Ni<2+>, Ag<2+> and Pb<2+>) can be well adsorbed by virtue of different types of microbial live 
bacteria under different adsorption mechanisms.
