Live Phormidium bigranulatum-dominated mat successfully removed Pb (II), Cu (II) and Cd
(II) from aqueous solution. Percent metal removal approached equilibrium within 4h …

In this study the response surface methodology (RSM) based on the Box-Behnken design
model was applied to investigate the effect of parameter interactions that are suspected to …

Biosorption of lead, cadmium, nickel and zinc by live and dead Mucor rouxii biomass treated
with NaOH was studied over a range of pH. In the case of dead biomass, low pH resulted in …

Mucor rouxii biomass was immobilized in a polysulfone matrix. The spherical immobilized
biomass beads were packed in a column. The biosorption column was able to remove metal …

The present study explores the suitability of chemical reaction-based and diffusion-based
kinetic models for defining the biosorption of Cu (II), Cd (II) and Pb (II) by Phormidium sp …

The equilibrium sorption capacity of a macro-fungi, Pycnoporus sanguineus biomass was
studied using a single-meta system comprising copper ions. The rate and extent for the …

The pH-dependent metal sorption by Oscillatoria-and Phormidium-dominated mats was
effectively expressed by the Hill function. The estimated Hill functions can fruitfully predict …

The study aimed at investigating copper, lead, and cadmium removal from both single and
mixed metal solutions by Michelia figo (Lour.) Spreng. wood sawdust treated with 0.5 mol l …

Zinc and cadmium can be efficiently removed from solutions using the brown algae,
Macrocystis pyrifera. Treatment with CaCl2 allowed stabilization of the biosorbent. The …

In this study, Nostoc muscorum, a native cyanobacterial species isolated from a coal mining
site, was employed to remove Cu (II), Zn (II), Pb (II) and Cd (II) from aqueous solution …
