Journal ArticleDOI
Typical lignocellulosic wastes and by-products for biosorption process in water and wastewater treatment: a critical review.
TL;DR: In this paper, the efficiency of each biosorbent has been discussed with respect to the operating conditions (e.g., temperature, hydraulic residence time, initial metal concentration, biosorbents particle size and its dosage), chemical modification on sorption capacity and preparation methods, as well as thermodynamics and kinetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics and equilibrium studies on biosorption of cadmium, lead, and nickel ions from aqueous solutions by intact and chemically modified brown algae
TL;DR: From the results obtained, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model best describes the biosorption of cadmium, nickel and lead ions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of a breakthrough biosorbent for removing heavy metals from synthetic and real wastewaters in a lab-scale continuous fixed-bed column
Atefeh Abdolali,Huu Hao Ngo,Wenshan Guo,John L. Zhou,Jian Zhang,Shuang Liang,Soon Woong Chang,Dinh Duc Nguyen,Yi Liu +8 more
TL;DR: Desorption studies indicated that metal-loaded biosorbent could be used after three consecutive sorption, desorption and regeneration cycles by applying a semi-simulated real wastewater.
Journal ArticleDOI
A breakthrough biosorbent in removing heavy metals: Equilibrium, kinetic, thermodynamic and mechanism analyses in a lab-scale study
Atefeh Abdolali,Huu Hao Ngo,Wenshan Guo,Shaoyong Lu,Shiao-Shing Chen,Nguyen Cong Nguyen,Xinbo Zhang,Jie Wang,Yun Wu +8 more
TL;DR: This novel MMBB can effectively be utilized as an adsorbent to remove heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions and calculated thermodynamic parameters indicated feasible, spontaneous and exothermic biosorption process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a multi-metal binding biosorbent: Chemical modification and desorption studies.
Atefeh Abdolali,Huu Hao Ngo,Wenshan Guo,John L. Zhou,Bin Du,Qin Wei,Xiaochang C. Wang,Phuoc Dan Nguyen +7 more
TL;DR: The effectiveness of regeneration step by 1 M CaCl2 on five successive cycles of sorption and desorption displays this multi-metal binding biosorbent (MMBB) can effectively be utilized as an adsorbent to remove heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions in five cycles of Sorption/desorption/regeneration.
