Biosorption of Heavy Metal Ions: Ion-Exchange versus Adsorption and the Heterogeneity of Binding Sites

Surface heterogeneity-related effects have been studied in the context of biosorption systems designed for the removal of bivalent heavy metal ions from aqueous systems. The research was focused on incorporating these effects into the concept of the ion-exchange (IE) constant. Cases of both correlat...
