Heavy metal contamination has been recognized as a major public health risk, particularly in
develo** countries and their toxicological manifestations are well known. Conventional …

Distinctive adsorption equilibria and kinetic models are of extensive use in explaining the
biosorption of heavy metals, denoting the need to highlight and summarize their essential …

Biosorption may be simply defined as the removal of substances from solution by biological
material. Such substances can be organic and inorganic, and in gaseous, soluble or …

The adsorption of chromium (VI) ions from aqueous solution by ethylenediamine-modified
cross-linked magnetic chitosan resin (EMCMCR) was studied in a batch adsorption system …

Industries generating wastewater with elevated concentrations of pollutants (eg metals,
dyes, phenolic compounds, anions, etc.) need specialized atreatment systems. Adsorption is …

Biosorption presents a potent technology to remediate metal-contaminated aqueous
environment or even to recover precious metals. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) …

Coconut coir (Cocos nucifera L.), particle size 300–850 μm, has been identified as an
adsorbent for safranin-O dye removal from aqueous solution. Bioadsorption efficiency is …

Microorganisms can remove metals from the surrounding environment with various
mechanisms, either as metabolically mediated processes or as a passive adsorption of …

Highly efficient simultaneous removal of Pb (II) and p-nitrophenol (PNP) contamination from
water was accomplished by nitrogen-functionalized magnetic ordered mesoporous carbon …

Abstract Biosorption of Cu (II), Co (II) and Fe (III) ions from aqueous solutions by rice husk,
palm leaf and water hyacinth was investigated as a function of initial pH, initial heavy metal …
