TL;DR: In this article, a review examines a wide variety of microorganisms (fungi, yeasts, bacteria, etc.), which are capable of uptake of organic pollutants, discusses various mechanisms involved in biosorption, discusses the effects of various parameters such as pH, temperature, concentrations of organic pollutant, other ions, and biomass in solution, pretreatment method, etc.

TL;DR: A continuous fixed bed study was carried out by using Mowital®B30H resin immobilized dried activated sludge as a biosorbent for the removal of phenol from aqueous solution.

TL;DR: In this paper, a batch system with respect to the temperature, initial pH, and initial metal ion concentration was studied, where Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were tried to represent the equilibrium data of cadmium(II) biosorption depending on temperature.

TL;DR: In this article, a batch system with respect to temperature and initial metal ion concentration was studied and the activation energy of biosorption (E A ) was determined as 25.92 kJ mole −1 using the Arrhenius equation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models for describing the short-term biosorption of copper(II), nickel(II) and chromium(VI) by all three algae species.
