Material Balance for Stepwise Extraction of Freshwater Algae Biomass with Heavy Metal Sequestration

Kinetics and thermodynamics of heavy metal ions sequestration onto novel Nauclea diderrichii seed biomass.

This study reports the sequestration of Cd(II) and Hg(II) using a new biosorbent, Nauclea diderrichii seed biomass. Experimental data obtained were fitted into kinetic and thermodynamic models. Experimental data fitted best into pseudo-second order kinetic model among others. Results obtained kinetically revealed that the biosorption of Cd(II) and Hg(II) using N. diderrichii seed biosorbent inc...

Potential of Microbial Biomass for Heavy Metal Removal: A Review

Present review paper deals with extensive literature survey in exploring the potential of microbial biomass for the sequestering of toxic heavy metals from aquatic streams. Presently more than half billion people are underprivileged and deprived of fresh water, clean air, soil and pure food. Contamination of aquatic streams due to release of toxic metal ions is a stern issue demanding global co...

Determination of some heavy metal levels in three freshwater fish in Keban Dam Lake (Turkey) for public consumption

The accumulation of iron, zinc, copper and cobalt in the muscles of three freshwater fish (Cyprinus carpio, Squalius cephalus and Capoeta umbla) from Keban Dam Lake (Turkey) were investigated between September 2009 and April 2010. The concentration of heavy metals were found as Zn>Fe>Cu>Cd respectively. A positive relationship was found between heavy metal levels and fish size. The levels of al...
