Cu(II) removal onto fungal derived biosorbents: Biosorption performance and the half saturation constant concentration approach

This study investigates the removing of Cu(II) using Pleurotus ostreatus fungal and Pleurotus ostreatus spent mushroom compost. In these batch biosorption experiments, the half saturation constant of biosorption was determined through Langmuir Linearization 1 plot of biosorbent concentration. This n...
