A vast array of biological materials, especially bacteria, algae, yeasts and fungi have
received increasing attention for heavy metal removal and recovery due to their good …

Heavy-metal-bearing wastewater is among the most formidable challenges the mining
industry currently faces in maintaining its social license to operate. Amongst the …

Fresh water accounts for 3% of water resources on the Earth. Human and industrial activities
produce and discharge wastes containing heavy metals into the water resources making …

The increasing accumulation of heavy metal ions in our surroundings is posing a serious
threat to living systems. Adsorption means based on a variety of micro/nanomaterials and …

Biosorption of Pb (II) and Cu (II) ions from aqueous solutions has been studied in a batch
system by using a bacterial strain isolated from metal polluted soil. The bacterial strain was …

In this study, bioaccumulation of heavy metal and dye by Aspergillus versicolor was
investigated. Optimum pH values of the maximum heavy metal bioaccumulation was found …

The removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution by rice straw, a surplus agricultural byproduct
was investigated. The optimal pH was 2.0 and Cr (VI) removal rate increased with …

The Pb (II) and Cu (II) biosorption characteristics of Aspergillus flavus fungal biomass were
examined as a function of initial pH, contact time and initial metal ion concentration. Heat …

Removal of hazardous metals through biological means has received considerable attention
in the last few decades. Nevertheless, only a fraction of these studies employed growing …

In an effort to explore the protective mechanism of growing Bacillus cereus RC-1 against the
toxicity of different Cd (II) concentrations, bacterial growth, cadmium consumption, surface …
