Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic biosorption studies of Hg(II) on red algal biomass of Porphyridium cruentum

Among a variety of microbial materials employed for biosorption, algae have added advantages of non-toxic and autotrophic nature. In this study, biosorption of Hg(II) was studied with red algal biomass of Porphyridium cruentum. The parameters affecting biosorption such as dosage of biosorbent, pH, c...
