Biosorption of Cu2+ from aqueous solutions by pretreated Cladosporium sp.

Biosorption of Mercury (II) from Aqueous Solutions onto Fungal Biomass

The biosorption of mercury (II) on 14 fungal biomasses, Aspergillus flavus I-V, Aspergillus fumigatus I-II, Helminthosporium sp., Cladosporium sp., Mucor rouxii mutant, M. rouxii IM-80, Mucor sp 1 and 2, and Candida albicans, was studied in this work. It was found that the biomasses of the fungus M. rouxii IM-80, M. rouxii mutant, Mucor sp1, and Mucor sp 2 were very efficient removing the metal...

Biosorption of Cd2+ and Cu2+ from aqueous solution using Gracilaria corticata waste biomass

Pollution of aquatic environments by toxic trace metals has been taking place because of discharge of untreated effluents from many industrial processes. Conventional methods used for removing dissolved heavy metal ions from wastewaters have significant disadvantages including incomplete metal removal, requirements for expensive equipment, high energy requirements and generation of toxic sludge...

Biosorption of Uranium (VI) from Aqueous Solution by Pretreated Aspergillus niger Using Sodium Hydroxide

The removal of uranium and any other heavy metals from wastewater might be achieved via several chemical or physical treatment techniques. Biosorption process has been considered as a potential alternative way to remove contaminants from industrial effluents. Moreover the surface of biosorbent was characterized by SEM. The biosorption characteristics of uranium (VI) on pretreated A...

Biosorption of Chromium (VI) from Aqueous Solutions onto Fungal Biomass

The biosorption of chromium (VI) on eighteen different natural biosorbents: Natural sediment, chitosan, chitin, Aspergillus flavus I-V, Aspergillus fumigatus I-ll, Helmintosporium sp, Cladosporium sp, Mucor rouxii mutant, M. rouxii IM-80, Mucor sp-I and 2, Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans was studied in this work. It was found that the biomass of C. neoformans, natural sediment, Hel...
