Abstract

Regeneration of metal-treated biosorbent is an important aspect of cost-effectiveness of wastewater treatment. In general, desorption behavior of metals from biomaterials is usually carried out by using an appropriate stripping agent. Desorption behavior of metal ions from biosorbents is to be observed after eluting with different stripping agents (soft acid, hard acid, base, and distilled water).
