4. Conclusion
Maximum sorption capacity (qm) obtained from the sorption of MB onto C. lentillifera was 417 mgg
1 which was relatively high in comparison with the previous records as summarized in
Table 4 . Sorption behaviors of the six systems were compared in order to give comparative eval-uation where the sorption capacity of the alga was proven
to be superior to that of activated carbon. Moreover, the equilibrium times of the algal systems were found to be
shorter and this rendered the alga a potential biosorbentfor color removal
