Abstract
Biosorption of lead by marine algae, Undaria pinnatifida, was examined. The biosorption capacity of lead by U. pinnatifida was above 30% of its own weight and proportional to the initial lead concentration. However, the opposite result was shown in different initial weight of biomass. The mechanism of biosorption was accorded to the ion exchange process.
