The Relationship between pH and Heavy Metal Ion Sorption by Algal Biomass
The relationship between pH and heavy metal ion sorption by the biomass of two algal species was studied under controlled experimental conditions. It was observed that increasing heavy metal ion sorption by algal biomass with pH mainly arose from a change in algal cell properties, provided that the...
