Biosorption was found to be at a maximum (90.6%), in a solution containing 100 mg copper/L, at pH 7, with 0.050 g dry biomass and at 37 C with 90 min of contact time.
Analysis of the spectrum obtained with atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS), indicated
that the adsorbent has a great potential to remove copper from aqueous media contributing
to an eco-friendly technology for efficient bioremediation in the natural environment.
