Calcium alginate as an eco-friendly supporting material for Baker’s yeast strain in chromium bioremediation

In this study, Baker’s yeast strain (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) biomass was immobilized in alginate extract 3% forming Biomass/Polymer Matrices Beads (BPMB). These beads were investigated for chromium biosorption from aqueous solution. Factors such as solution pH, contact times, temperature values, s...
