Heavy metal pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems today.
Biosorption, using biomaterials such as bacteria, fungi, yeast and algae, is regarded as a …

In recent years, there has been an intensive research on fungal decolorization of dye
wastewater. It is becoming a promising alternative to replace or supplement present …

Many algae have immense capability to sorb metals, and there is considerable potential for
using them to treat wastewaters. Metal sorption involves binding on the cell surface and to …

The common filamentous fungi can sorb heavy metals from aqueous solutions. The sorption
of heavy metals, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Fe, Ni, Ag, Th, Ra and U, by fungal biomass has been …

During the last two decades, extensive attention has been paid on the management of
environmental pollution causal by hazardous materials such as heavy metals …

Although the search for new and innovative treatment technologies has focused attention on
the metal binding capacities of various microorganisms, the kinetics of the metal uptake …

This comprehensive text provides the reader with both a detailed reference and a unified
course on wastewater treatment. Aimed at scientists and engineers, it deals with the …

Biosorption of lead, cadmium, nickel and zinc by live and dead Mucor rouxii biomass treated
with NaOH was studied over a range of pH. In the case of dead biomass, low pH resulted in …

Sulfur dyes are inexpensive and are used mainly for dyeing textile cellulosic materials or
blends of cellulosic fibers. Sodium sulfide is fairly cheap and a traditional reducing agent …

The biosorption of cadmium and lead ions from artificial aqueous solutions using waste
baker's yeast biomass was investigated. The yeast cells were treated with caustic, ethanol …
