Physical and chemical modification of lignocellulosic waste biomass-tool for improving sorption capacity
The main constituents of ligno-cellulosic (LC) biomass are lignin, celluloses and hemicelluloses, complex polymers with many functional groups, which can be modified with the purpose to improve the sorption properties&...

Imobilisation of alkali treated apricot shells as a biosorbent for heavy metals removal
In this work, the design and usage of biosorbents made of apricot shells (Prunus armeniaca L.), Na-alginate and bentonite, for heavy metals removal from wastewaters, were investigated. The effect of particle size on the biosorption process, were investigate and the smallest fraction, was immobilized in Na-alginate. Immobilization had a positive eff...

BIOSORPTION OF METHYLENE BLUE BY WASTE APRICOT SHELLS FROM FOOD INDUSTRY
In this paper, the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution by biosorption ontoapricot shellshas been investigated through batch experiments. Apricot shells were chosen as alocally available and abundant waste from fruit juice industry. Methylene blue is common pollutantof waste waters from textile industry.The influence of initial MB c...
