[Abstract] This work reports kinetic and equilibrium studies of cadmium(II) and lead(II) adsorption by the brown seaweed Cystoseira baccata. Kinetic experiments demonstrated rapid metal uptake. Kinetic data were satisfactorily ...

[Abstract] Protonated biomass of the seaweed Sargassum muticum was investigated for its ability to remove cadmium(II) from aqueous solutions. In this work, a non-ideal, semi-empirical, thermodynamically consistent (NICCA) ...

[Abstract] In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the studies concerning brown seaweed as biosorbents for metal removal owing to their high binding ability and low cost. This work reports the results of ...

[Abstract] The ability of Cystoseira baccata algal biomass to remove Hg(II) from aqueous solutions is investigated. The mercury biosorption process is studied through batch experiments at 25ºC with regard to the influence ...

[Abstract] Samples of dead biomass from the marine brown algae Fucus ceranoides, F. vesiculosus and F.serratus were studied for their ability to remove cadmium from aqueous solutions. The metal sorption process is rapid, ...

[Abstract] Methylene blue adsorption on Sargassum muticum, an invasive macroalga in Europe, has been investigated using visible absorption spectroscopy. Different pre-treatments, protonation and chemical cross-linking ...

[Abstract] The apparent proton dissociation constants of a commercial alginic acid have been obtained in KNO3 and NaCl at concentrations ranging between 0.01 and 2 mol·L-1. An analysis of the dependence on the ionic strength ...

[Abstract] Phenol, 2-chlorophenol (2-CP), and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) biosorption on Sargassum muticum, an invasive macroalga in Europe, has been investigated. The efficiency of this biosorbent was studied measuring the ...

[Abstrac] Five different brown seaweeds, Bifurcaria bifurcata, Saccorhiza polyschides, Ascophyllum nodosum, Laminaria ochroleuca and Pelvetia caniculata were studied for their ability to remove cadmium from aqueous solution. ...
