Construction a hybrid biosorbent using Scenedesmus quadricauda and Ca-alginate for biosorption of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II): Kinetics and equilibrium studies
Gulay Bayramoglu,M. Yakup Arica +1 more
TL;DR: The potential use of the immobilized fresh water algae (in Ca-alginate) of Scenedesmus quadricauda to remove Cu(II), Zn( II) and Ni(II) ions from aqueous solutions was evaluated using Ca- alginate beads as a control system and the adsorption-equilibrium was represented with Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorptive isotherms.
