Heavy metals from industrial effluent are major threat to environment because of their major
toxicity effect. The treatment of metal contaminated wastewater is of special concern. This …

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

Many industries have high heavy metals concentrations in their effluents that should be
treated before disposal in drains or natural watercourses. When adsorption process is …

The present studies investigate the use of a local environmentally friendly biosorbent
material, ie, powdered straw from Triticum aestivum (WS) for the removal of Cd (II) ions, one …

In this investigation, the efficiency of Codium vermilara for copper ions removal from
aqueous solution was studied. Central Composite Design has been used for the Response …

Gymnogongrus torulosus adsorption efficiency for cadmium (II), copper (II), lead (II) and zinc
(II) were studied in batch mode in different acidic conditions. The adsorbent removal …

Lead pollution in aquatic environment possessed lethal threats to public health. Heavy metal
removal using microalgae have gained increasing attention as a novel biosorbent with great …

In this study, the interaction of pH, biomass and initial concentrations of lead (Pb) and
manganese (Mn) ions in simultaneous removal of Pb and Mn were investigated using the …

The effects of the extraction procedure of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) on their
proton/metal binding properties were studied. Nine extraction procedures (one control, four …

Marine algae are generally considered cheap and available materials, which do not
compete with agricultural crops for land or water, and are therefore included into category of …
