Biosorption of Heavy Metals
Bohumil Volesky,Z. R. Holan +1 more
- 15 Aug 1990
TL;DR: The state of the art in the field of biosorption is reviewed, with many references to recent reviews and key individual contributions, and the composition of marine algae polysaccharide structures, which seem instrumental in metal uptake and binding are discussed.

A review of the biochemistry of heavy metal biosorption by brown algae
TL;DR: The emphasis is on outlining the biochemical properties of the brown algae that set them apart from other algal biosorbents, including alginate and fucoidan, which are chiefly responsible for heavy metal chelation.
Detoxification of metal-bearing effluents: biosorption for the next century
TL;DR: In this article, the potential share of the currently existing environmental market in North America alone is estimated to be around US$27 million/year for metal biosorption in the next five years.

David Kratochvil,Bohumil Volesky +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a cost-effective new alternative for the decontamination of metal-containing effluents by using metal biosorption of non-living biomass.

Biosorption and me.
TL;DR: The methodology of studying biosorption is based on an interdisciplinary approach, whereby the phenomenon can be studied, examined and analyzed from different angles and perspectives-by chemists, (micro-)biologists as well as (process) engineers.
