Abstract

This research is mainly focused on the wastewater treatment using biosorption techniques. The biosorption kinetics of binary sorption of heavy metals by green macro alga Caulerpa lentillifera were studied where such alga was used in the shrimp farm as the nitrogen controller but it grow rapidly so the farmer get rid of its excess amount as waste. The studies of sorption capacity and sorption kinetics of Lead (Pb2+) and Copper (Cu2+) ions in single and binary components were conducted using batch experiments. The new binary sorption kinetic model was developed to predict the experimental results and the calculated outputs from the model were consistent with experimental data.
