Background. Rapid industrialization and anthropogenic activities such as the unmanaged
use of agro-chemicals, fossil fuel burning and dumping of sewage sludge have caused soils …

Algae have several industrial applications that can lower the cost of biofuel co-production.
Among these co-production applications, environmental and wastewater bioremediation are …

Heavy metal pollution is one of the most pervasive environmental problems globally. Novel
finely tuned algae have been proposed as a means to improve the efficacy and selectivity of …

Heavy metals contamination has become a global issue of concern due to their higher
toxicities, nature of non-biodegradability, high capabilities in bioaccumulation in human …

Pectin hydrogel is a soft hydrocolloid with multifaceted utilities in the food sector. Substantial
knowledge acquired on the gelation mechanisms and structure-function relationship of …

The biosorption of cadmium (II) and lead (II) ions onto a natural, plentiful and low-cost
biosorbent developed from cactus cladodes was investigated in batch mode. Experiments …

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 …

With bulk production and increasing application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as adsorbents
in wastewater treatment, they will eventually be discharged into water environment and …

In this study, Rosa damascena leaf powder was evaluated as a biosorbent for the removal of
copper from aqueous solutions. Process variables such as the biosorbent dose, pH, and …

The present study aims to evaluate the competitive biosorption of lead, cadmium, copper,
and arsenic ions by using native algae. A series of experiments were carried out in a batch …
