Biosorption of Cu (II) onto chemically modified waste mycelium of Aspergillus awamori: Equilibrium, kinetics and modeling studies

The biosorption potential of chemically modified waste mycelium of industrial xylanase-producing strain Aspergillus awamori for Cu (II) removal from aqueous solutions was evaluated. The influence of pH, contact time and initial Cu (II) concentration on the removal efficiency was evaluated. Maximum b...
