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.

Adsorption of phenol and its derivatives from water using synthetic resins and low-cost natural adsorbents: a review

TL;DR: The technical feasibility of the use of activated carbon, synthetic resins, and various low-cost natural adsorbents for the removal of phenol and its derivatives from contaminated water has been reviewed and it should be noted that the adsorption capacities of the adsorbent vary significantly depending on the characteristics of the individual adsorbENT, the extent of chemical modifications, and the concentrations of solutes.

Fixed-bed adsorption of reactive azo dye onto granular activated carbon prepared from waste.

TL;DR: The BGAC was shown to be suitable adsorbent for adsorption of RB5 using fixed-bed adsorptive column and fitted well to the Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models with coefficients of correlation R(2)>or=0.93 at different conditions.

Use of rice husk for the adsorption of congo red from aqueous solution in column mode

TL;DR: It was concluded that the rice husk column can remove CR from solution andThomas model was found suitable for the normal description of breakthrough curve at the experimental condition, while Adams-Bohart model was only for a initial part of dynamic behavior of the rice Husk column.

Single component and multi-component adsorption of metal ions by activated carbons

TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption of activated carbons was investigated as a method to recover metal ions from acid mine drainage, and the results indicated that Langmuir isotherm fits the data better in single component systems whereas the Freundlich is better in multi-component systems.

Biosorption of phenol from an aqueous solution by Aspergillus niger biomass

TL;DR: Five types of non-viable pretreated A. niger biomass powders were used as a biosorbent to remove phenol present in an aqueous solution at a concentration of 1,000 microg/l and found to be the most effective.
