Comparison of Rhodotorula sp. and Bacillus megaterium in the removal of cadmium ions from liquid effluents

This study compares the capacity of Rhodotorula sp. and Bacillus megaterium for Cd(II) removal considering the influence of operating parameters (pH, biosorbent dosage, contact time, temperature, initial metal concentration in solution). The highest Cd(II) uptake of 14.2 mg/g by Rhodotorula sp. was...
