Low-cost adsorbents for heavy metals uptake from contaminated water: a review.
TL;DR: The technical feasibility of various low-cost adsorbents for heavy metal removal from contaminated water has been reviewed and it is evident from the literature survey of about 100 papers that low- cost adsorbent have demonstrated outstanding removal capabilities for certain metal ions as compared to activated carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the biochemistry of heavy metal biosorption by brown algae
TL;DR: The emphasis is on outlining the biochemical properties of the brown algae that set them apart from other algal biosorbents, including alginate and fucoidan, which are chiefly responsible for heavy metal chelation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater by chemically modified plant wastes as adsorbents: A review
TL;DR: In this review, an extensive list of plant wastes as adsorbents including rice husks, spent grain, sawdust, sugarcane bagasse, fruit wastes, weeds and others has been compiled and some of the treated adsorbent show good adsorption capacities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial biosorbents and biosorption
TL;DR: The present review highlights the necessity for the examination of biosorbents within real situations, as competition between solutes and water quality may affect the biosorption performance.
