Optimisation and Modelling of Pb(II) and Cu(II) Biosorption onto Red Algae (<i>Gracilaria changii</i>) by Using Response Surface Methodology

Optimisation and Modelling of Pb(II) and Cu(II) Biosorption onto Red Algae (<i>Gracilaria changii</i>) by Using Response Surface Methodology

The removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions by using marine red macroalgae (<i>Gracilaria changii</i>) as a biosorbent material was evaluated through the batch equilibrium technique. The effect of solution pH on the removal of metal ions was investigated within the range of 2&#8722;7. The...
