Copper (II) Biosorption from Aqueous Solutions by Green Algae Cladophora glomerata (L.) Kütz.

Modification of algae with zinc, copper and silver ions for usage as natural composite for antibacterial applications

“…However the present study aims to investigate the possibility for using a reservoir from natural and self-sustainable resources. This material can be gained from algae which are well known for the adsorption of different metal ions Materials Science and Engineering C 33 (2013) 979-983 present in several sources [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. One important prospective application of algae in this area is the biosorption of toxic heavy metal ions from water with the purposes of water cleaning [24][25][26][27].…”
