Biosorption of binary mixtures of heavy metals by green macro alga, Caulerpa lentillifera

Dried Caulerpa lentillifera was shown to have adsorption potential for Cu, Cd, Pb and Zn. The adsorption equilibrium was found to follow the Freundlich isotherm type. The adsorption of binary mixture of heavy metals solution onto the surface of the algae was found to be of competitive type where the...
