Bioadsorbents for remediation of heavy metals: Current status and their future prospects
Open accessAbstract
The biosorption process has been established as characteristics of dead biomasses of both cellulosic and microbial origin to bind metal ion pollutants from aqueous suspension.The high effectiveness of this process even at low metal concentration, similarity to ion exchange treatment process, but cheaper and greener alternative to conventional techniques have resulted in a mature biosorption technology.Yet its adoption to large scale industrial wastewaters treatment has still been a distant reality.The purpose of this review is to make in-depth analyses of the various aspects of the biosorption technology, staring from the various biosorbents used till date and the various factors affecting the process.The design of better biosorbents for improving their physico-chemical features as well as enhancing their biosorption characteristics has been discussed.Better economic value of the biosorption technology is related to the repeated reuse of the biosorbent with minimum loss of efficiency.In this context desorption of the metal pollutants as well as regeneration of the biosorbent has been discussed in detail.Various inhibitions including the multi mechanistic role of the biosorption technology has been identified which have played a contributory role to its non-commercialization.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
