All the oceans are plentiful with marine algae. Non‐viable marine macroalgae are able to
adsorb heavy metal ions. Compared with other biosorbents, such as fungi, bacteria, yeasts …

This paper reviews some practical aspects of the application of algal biomass for the
biosorption of heavy metals from wastewater. The ability of different algal species to remove …

Biosorption of heavy metals is an effective technology for the treatment of industrial waste
waters. The uptake capacities of the biomass of a group of nine marine macro algae for …

Accumulation of heavy metals by algae had been studied extensively for biomonitoring or
bioremediation purposes. Having the advantages of low cost raw material, big adsorbing …

Particles of two different sizes (0· 105–0· 295 mm and 0· 84–1.00 mm diameter) of two
marine algae, Sargassum fluitans and Ascophyllum nodosum, were crosslinked with …

Seaweeds play a key role in the aquatic environment, but over the last years algal blooms
have increased on maritime coasts, fouling beaches and threatening tourism. Biosorption …

The use of algae to adsorb heavy metals is an efficient and environmentally friendly
treatment for contaminated water and has attracted widespread research attention. In this …

Algal biomass possesses tremendous metal binding ability and therefore has great potential
for gleaning these pollutants from wastewaters. The algal cell wall and exopolymers contain …

The biosorption mechanism of divalent Ni (II), Cd (II), and Pb (II) ions onto calcium treated
Entemorpha linza was investigated as a function of pH, contact time, biomass dose, and …

Instead of using mainly bacteria, it is also possible to use mainly algae to clean wastewater
because many of the pollutant sources in wastewater are also food sources for algae …
