Role of calcium carbonate in the process of heavy metal biosorption from solutions: synergy of metal removal mechanisms

Abstract The effect of calcium carbonate on the removal efficiency of cations of the selected heavy metals Cu, Zn and Pb from aqueous solutions using various biosorbents (BS) was investigated under laboratory static conditions. The main mechanism of biosorption of heavy metal cations is ion exchange...
