Journal ArticleDOI
Application of biosorption for the removal of organic pollutants: a review
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosorption of phenol by immobilized activated sludge in a continuous packed bed: prediction of breakthrough curves
Zümriye Aksu,Ferda Gönen +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equilibrium and kinetic modelling of cadmium(II) biosorption by C. vulgaris in a batch system: effect of temperature
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of the equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the batch biosorption of nickel(II) ions onto Chlorella vulgaris
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study on heavy metal biosorption characteristics of some algae
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.
