The common filamentous fungi can sorb heavy metals from aqueous solutions. The sorption
of heavy metals, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Fe, Ni, Ag, Th, Ra and U, by fungal biomass has been …

Metals can be dispersed, both naturally and by man's activities, into any of the Earth's
elements-soil, water or air. Biological techniques for removing metal pollutants from soil, air …

This book provides in-depth coverage of environmental pollution sources, waste
characteristics, control technologies, management strategies, facility innovations, process …

Phenols in trace quantities are usually present in the treated effluent of many wastewater-
treatment plants. Phenol contamination of drinking water even at 1 μg/l concentration can …

Increased consciousness for safeguarding the aqueous environment has prompted a search
for alternative technologies for the removal of toxic metal ions from aqueous solutions. In this …
