Abstract
The sorption activity of biomass with various substance composition is estimated relative to ions of nonferrous and noble metals. The possibility is shown for the effective extraction of metals by biosorbents with subsequent biomass flotation. The influence exerted by a number of technological and physico-chemical factors on the flotation indices is established. The combined technological scheme is recommended for realization.
