Abstract

Biosorption can be used to eliminate heavy metals from industrial effluents or to recover precious metals from processing solutions. Scanning Electron Microscopedetected a high Cr sorption capacity of L. Japonica biomass almost 45% of its dry weight at pH 4.5. It should be mentioned that adjusting the pH influences on sorption capacity of biomass.
