Kinetics and equilibrium of lanthanum biosorption by free and immobilized microalgal cells

This work aimed to study the potential for bioremediation of lanthanum by microalgae Ankistrodesmus sp. and Golenkinia sp., as free cells and immobilized in calcium alginate pellets. To reach that goal, studies have been conducted in batch and in continuous fixed bed column. Kinetic models of pseudo...
