Industrial waste derived biosorbent for toxic metal remediation: Mechanism studies and spent biosorbent management (original) (raw)

The paper investigates the use of industrial waste-derived biosorbents for the remediation of toxic heavy metals from contaminated water. It discusses the mechanisms involved in the biosorption process and explores the management of spent biosorbents post-treatment. The study presents data on the effectiveness of biosorption for various metals, including nickel, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, iron, lead, and copper, with emphasis on the elemental composition and adsorption capacities, as well as potential future applications and improvements to the biosorbent management process.
