Continuous fixed-bed biosorption process: A review

Biosorption is one of the solute enrichment techniques driven by the concentration difference of biosorbate molecules among the bulk liquid phase and solid biosorbent. The presence of the surface functional groups of the biosorbents facilitates the formation of physical/chemical interactions with th...
