Effect of temperature
Biosorption process was carried out at different values of
temperature (20, 25, 30 and 35 C), at constant pH 5.5, 0.1 g
biosorbent weight, volume of 10 ml of 10 mg Cd/L for
120 min
Metal removal efficiency
Biosorption capacity (qe), the amount of metal adsorbed per
gram of biosorbent, can be calculated at equilibrium in mg/g
as follows:
