Removal of mercury(II) from aqueous solutions by biosorption on the biomass of Sargassum glaucescens and Gracilaria corticata

Previous studies have shown the batch removal of Pb2+ ions from wastewater and aqueous solution using two different algae; Gracilaria corticata (red algae) and Sargassum glaucescens (brown algae). The objective of this research is to study the batch removal of Hg2+ from aqueous solution, and wastewa...
