Global water scarcity is increasing day-by-day due to population explosion, urbanization
and rapid industrialization. Inevitably, surface water is widely contaminated by various …

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 …

As the costs of wastewater disposal increase more emphasis is being placed upon the
recovery and recycling of valuable chemicals contained within these streams. In this article …

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the potential of Pinus sylvestris sawdust, in a
continuous flow removal of lead (II) ions from synthetic and industrial aqueous effluents. The …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) were extracted by high-speed centrifugation at
20,000 G for 30 min from an activated sludge treating municipal wastewater. Each gram of …

The biosorption of cadmium ions onto entrapped Trametes versicolor mycelia has been
studied in a batch system. The maximum experimental biosorption capacities for entrapped …

The present study reports the use of sunflower waste carbon calcium–alginate beads (SWC-
CAB) for cadmium removal from wastewater in continuous flow fixed bed columns. The …

Biosorption of heavy metals can be an effective process for the removal of heavy metal ions
from aqueous solutions. In this study, the adsorption properties of lichen biomass of …

Basidiospores of P. chryosporium were immobilized into Ca-alginate beads via entrapment,
and the beads incubated for vegetation at 30° C for 5 days. The alginate beads and both …

The sorption of heavy metals ions by immobilized Trichoderma viride biomass in a packed-
bed column was studied. Fungal biomass T. viride was immobilized to Ca-alginate used for …
