Use of Algae for Removing Heavy Metal Ions From Wastewater: Progress and Prospects (2005, background): “There are reports showing altered metal uptake by live organisms with change in temperature regime (Skowroñski, 1986; Mehta and Gaur, 2001a; Mehta, Singh, and Gaur, 2002), with maximum uptake occurring at specific temperature optima.”
Metal bioremediation through growing cells. (2004, background): “Most of the metal biosorption studies are conducted using synthetic metal solutions (Ahuja et al., 1999; Mehta and Gaur, 2001), and when the biosorption potential using real industrial effluent is tested, the efficiency turns out to be very low.”
An evaluation of copper biosorption by a brown seaweed under optimized conditions (2003, result): “The shape of q versus time curves are similar to those reported by different authors concerning other Cu(II)biomass systems (Chang et al. 1997; Zhou et al. 1998; Kapoor et al. 1999; Mehta and Gaur, 2001; Nuhoglu et al. 2002; Sag and Aktay, 2002).”
Comparative study of biosorption of heavy metals using different types of algae. (2007, background): “At a given equilibrium concentration, the biomass takes up more metal ions at lower than at higher cell densities (Mehta and Gaur, 2001).”
