Application of Biological Adsorbent Materials for Removal of Harmful Inorganic Contaminants from Aqueous Media – An Overview

Water is one of the most vital and indispensable commodities of our everyday life. Progression of this natural resource plays a crucial role in socio-economic scenario. With only 1% available potable component, it is by and large adequate to meet all the demands of mankind. However its quality and dissemination over different regions of the world is uneven and causes problems of scarcity and appropriateness. Thus it is overbearing that one develops requisite low cost remediation and management practices for the rational and efficient use of this scarce commodity as much as possible. In order to execute this task, accurate and adequate information must be available about the quality of this natural resource under constantly changing human pressures and natural forces.
