Heavy Metal Phytoremediation from Aquatic Ecosystems with Special Reference to Macrophytes (2009, background): “A review of literature shows that heavy metals can be removed by inexpensive biological materials, such as algae, fungi, and bacteria ( Ho et al, 2002 ; Kaewsarn, 2002 ; Vasudevan et al, 2001 ; Volesky & Holan, 1995 ).”
Bacterial biosorbents and biosorption. (2008, methodology): “Of the different biological methods, bioaccumulation and biosorption have been demonstrated to possess good potential to replace conventional methods for the removal of dyes/metals (Volesky and Holan, 1995; Malik, 2004).”
Metals, minerals and microbes: geomicrobiology and bioremediation. (2010, unknown): “Biosorption is a physico-chemical process, simply defined as ‘the removal of substances from solution by biological material’; it is a property of both living and dead organisms (and their components), and has been heralded as a promising biotechnology for removal (and/or recovery) of metals, radion”
Simultaneous adsorption of chromium(VI) and phenol on natural red clay modified by HDTMA (2012, background): “Its advantages include high efficiency, easy handling, high selectivity, lower operating costs, easy regeneration of adsorbent, and minimized production of chemical or biological sludge [6].”
Metal bioremediation through growing cells. (2004, background): “Further, the capacities of these microorganisms to accumulate an ample range of metal species have also been described (Volesky, 1994; Fourest et al., 1994; Volesky and Holan, 1995).”
Microbial and plant derived biomass for removal of heavy metals from wastewater. (2007, background): “Seaweed, mold, bacteria, crab shells and yeast are among the different kinds of biomass, which have been tested for metal biosorption or removal (Volesky and Holan, 1995).”
Microalgae - A promising tool for heavy metal remediation. (2015, methodology): “However, most conventional techniques involved in HM remediation provide incomplete metal removal (Volesky, 1990), require large amounts of reagents and energy (Ahalya et al., 2003), have limited tolerance to pH change (Ahluwalia and Goyal, 2007), have moderate or no metal selectivity (Antunes et al”
Tolerance and phytoaccumulation of Chromium by three Azolla species (2006, background): “Also, conventional chemical methods for removal of toxic metals are ineffective when levels of metals in wastewaters are very low (between 10– 100 l gm l )1 ) ( Volesky 1990 ).”
