Biosorption of Metal Ions by Seaweed Alginate, Polyguluronate, and Polymannuronate

Abstract: , bound to 1g of polyguluronate, were 354.5±26.5, 177.6±8.7, 1,288.6±60.1, 424.0±7.4, and 140.2±28.5 mg, respectively, whereas those bound to 1 g of polymannuronate were 329.0±10.3, 206.9±1.9, 1,635.6±11.1, 419.8±12.6, and 251.0±49.1 mg, respectively. Due to its higher solubility than alginate and higher affinity for metal ions than polyguluronate, polymannuronate can be used for bioremediation or biosorption of toxic and/or noble metal ions.
