Comparative Study of Ion-Exchange and Biosorption Processes for the Removal of Cd and Zn Ions from Aqueous Effluents

A basic investigation of the removal of Cd(II) and Zn(II) ions from aqueous solutions by Sargassum sp. and NaY zeolite was conducted at room temperature under batch conditions. The results obtained indicated that, for both sorbents, cadmium and zinc ion uptake could be described by the Langmuir adso...
