Microalgae for biofuel production and removal of heavy metals: a review (2020, background): “Non-living algal biomass is classified as a series of polymers that seem to bind heavy metallic cation and adsorb heavy metal extraction (for example, glycoproteins, starch, cellulose, gelatine, etc.) from wastewater (Volesky 2007).”
