Cyanobacterial Biomass as a Potential Biosorbent for the Removal of Recalcitrant Dyes from Water

The accumulation of cyanobacteria produced due to eutrophication processes and the increment of different pollutants in water as a result of industrial processes affects aquatic environments such as the ocean, rivers, and swamps. In this work, cyanobacterial biomass was used as a biosorbent for the...

description The accumulation of cyanobacteria produced due to eutrophication processes and the increment of different pollutants in water as a result of industrial processes affects aquatic environments such as the ocean, rivers, and swamps.

Thus, MB was removed from biomass obtained from cyanobacterial samples collected from the swamp located in the Colombian Caribbean. Spectroscopical techniques such as FTIR, SEM, EDX measurements were used for the physico-chemical characterization of the bio-adsorbent material. Furthermore, we present the effect of various adsorption parameters such as pH, MB dose, time, and adsorbent concentration on the adsorbent equilibrium process.
