Red alga Gracilaria corticata biosorbent was evaluated as a new biosorbent of heavy metals
from aqouse samples. On contacting copper, lead, zinc and cadmium solutions with red alga …

The use of biosorbents for heavy metal removal has revealed enormous potential of algae
for biosorption. The dried biomass of Spirogyra hyalina was used as biosorbent for removal …

Control of heavy metal pollution is becoming increasingly important as industrialization
becomes the main economic activity of many nations. A number of strategies have been …

The biosorption of heavy metals from aqueous solutions was investigated, using a cheap
and abundant dry biomass of red algae P. palmata. The Freundlich, Langmuir and Brunauer …

Present study has been undertaken to propose an alternative use of unmodified marine red
alga (Kappaphycus alvarezii)(UMRA) as biosorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions from …

In this study Caulerpa racemosa has been characterized and used for the removal of Cd (II)
and Pb (II) from aqueous solutions. The effect of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time and …

The biosorption characteristics of alkaline treated marine green algae (Ulva lactuca) have
been studied for the removal of Pb (II), Zn (II) and Co (II) from aqueous solution, at room …

The cadmium (II) and copper (n) adsorption properties of chemically pretreated biomass of
red marine alga Gracilaria fisheri were investigated. Batch equilibrium experiments showed …

The biosorption of the heavy metals Cu2+ and Zn2+ by dried marine green macroalga
(Chaetomorpha linum) was investigated. The biosorption capacities of the dried alga for …

In recent years herbicides and heavy metals have surfaced as the most significant
environmental pollutants due to rapid industrialization and an increase in population …
