Application of the Surface Complexation Model to the Biosorption of Cu(II) and Pb(II) Ions onto Biomass

In this study, a potentiometric titration was performed to investigate the surface acid–base properties of Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes isolated from activated sludge. Batch sorption as a function of pH was performed to explain the sorption behaviour of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions onto the bacterial sur...
