Natural biosorbents for the removal of metals from aqueous solutions
… with suitable characteristics to perform as biosorbents. Brown seaweed (Fucus vesiculosus), Douglas fir wood bark (Pseudolsuga menziesii), peat and carapace from the edible crab (Cancer pagurus) were assessed for Cu(II) removal as a function of time and concentration. Mechanically and …

DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL MICROCAPSULES AND CELLULOSE-BASED BIOSORBENTS FOR POLLUTANTS REMOVAL FROM WATER
ARSENIC CONTAMINATION IN DRINKING WATER CAN CAUSE DELETERIOUS HEALTH HAZARDS, SUCH AS CANCER AND SKIN DISEASES. GROWING USE OF NANOPARTICLES IN HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS CAN ALSO CAUSE ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION, OWING TO THE IMPROPER HANDLING OF WASTES AND EFFLUENTS. HENCE THERE IS A NEED FOR COST-EFFECTIVE …
