Many algae have immense capability to sorb metals, and there is considerable potential for
using them to treat wastewaters. Metal sorption involves binding on the cell surface and to …

Metal contamination of a few aquatic, atmospheric, and soil ecosystems has increased ever
since the industrial revolution, owing to discharge of such elements via the effluents of some …

This comprehensive text provides the reader with both a detailed reference and a unified
course on wastewater treatment. Aimed at scientists and engineers, it deals with the …

The process of biosorption of heavy metal ions (Cr3+, Cd2+, Cu2+) by blue–green algae
Spirulina sp. is discussed in this paper. Spirulina sp. was found to be a very efficient …

Due to overgrowth in population, industrialization and civilization, demands for water are
increasing geometrically. Therefore, alternative sources of water are required and …

The sorption of Cu2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+ by a dried green macroalga Caulerpa
lentillifera was investigated. The removal efficiency increased with pH. The analysis with FT …

Seven species of brown, green, and red seaweeds were examined for their abilities to
sequester cadmium ions from aqueous solution. Although all the seaweed types …

As the costs of wastewater disposal increase more emphasis is being placed upon the
recovery and recycling of valuable chemicals contained within these streams. In this article …

The present study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of marine algae for removal of metals
from the aqueous solution. The green alga, Ulva lactuca, collected from the intertidal zone of …

Cadmium (II) adsorption properties of pre-treated biomass (PTB) of marine alga Durvillaea
potatorum were investigated. Pre-treatment of the native biomass with calcium chloride and …
