Bioremediation is traditionally carried out using 'free'bacterial cells; however, in recent years,
utilization of 'immobilized'bacterial cells has gained attention as a promising technique due …

Over the last few years, industrial and anthropogenic activities have increased the presence
of organic pollutants such as dyes, herbicides, pesticides, analgesics, and antibiotics in the …

The paper summarizes the present and future course of biosorption and bioaccumulation, as
the branch of science, pointing out on their basic assumptions, philosophy and the goals …

Information about advances in immobilization techniques and biotechnology use of
freshwater and marine microalgae is scattered. This work aims to bring together the main …

The biosorption of cadmium by immobilized Spirulina platensis on alginate gel and silica gel
was studied. The maximum biosorption capacities for alginate immobilized cells and silica …

The potential use of alginate immobilized algal beads for the removal of chromium from
aqueous solution has been investigated under optimized conditions in this study using a …

Algae constitute a large group of many different organisms, essentially aquatic and able to
live in all systems giving them sufficient light and humidity. Some algae species have been …

Tannery effluent can cause serious environmental pollution due to its high levels of
chromium, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and other …

Considerable attention has been focused in recent years upon the field of biosorption for the
removal of metal ions from aqueous effluents. Compared to other technologies, the …

This study describes biosorption of chromium (VI) by immobilized Spirulina platensis, in
calcium alginate beads. Three aspects viz. optimization of bead parameters, equilibrium …
