Novel composite biosorbent from Bacillus cereus for heavy metals removal from aqueous solutions

Waste biomass from Bacillus cereus immobilized in sodium alginate and co-immobilized with activated carbon or with bentonite into alginate gel was studied for Pb(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) removal from aqueous solutions. The composite biosorbent consisting of waste B. cereus biomass co-immobilized with...
