“…Recently, the removal of metals, compounds and particulates from solution by biological material is recognized as an extension to adsorption and is named as biosorption [11]. Examples of biosorbents are [12], Algae [13], seaweeds [14] microorganisms [15], [16] and several biopolymers [17]. Chitin, which is the major component of carapaces, crusts and shells of crustaceans is the second most abundant organic resource next to cellulose on earth and the most abundant biopolymer in nature that is widely used for the adsorption of heavy metal ions [18], [19].…”

“…It was 0.739 for chromium (Table 1). Taking reciprocal of 1/n, the n value obtained is in the range 1Á 10, showing favorable adsorptions (16). Eventual adsorption capacity, K F , as calculated from Freundlich isotherm is 0.192.…”

“…Cell walls of microbial biomass, mainly composed of polysaccharides, proteins and lipids have different functional groups for interactions with metal ions such as aldehydic, ketonic, amide, carboxyl, sulphate, phosphate and amino groups. This type of biosorptionusually rapid than metabolism dependent mechanisms and can be reversible [30,31] from the waste water [59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66].…”
