Biosorption potential of fungal biomass for heavy metal detoxification and chromium (VI) toxicity mitigation in agroecosystems

Heavy metal bioaccumulation potential of indigenous rhizospheric soil fungi with comparative assessment of lead and cadmium resistance

Fungi are highly suitable for use in bioremediation processes because of their high degree of metal tolerance. The present investigation focused on comparing the tolerance levels of the two most toxic metals, such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), and the bioaccumulation capacities of certain unexplored fungi isolated...

Phytoremediation of Cadmium, Nickel and Lead from Wastewater by Limna gibba using Response Surface Methodology: Optimization Study

Water pollution caused by toxic heavy metals remains a critical global issue, driving the search for sustainable and low-cost treatment technologies. This study explores a approach for removing cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb) from industrial wastewater using phytoremediation with aquatic plants. Aquatic specie...

Physiological responses and heavy metal detoxification potential of soil bacteria from bioslurry and Lapindo mud

Heavy metal pollution, especially lead (Pb) and chromium (Cr), poses an environmental problem that requires effective, sustainable remedial technologies. The objective of this study was to characterize the physiological responses and detoxification potential of bacterial isolates from bioslurry and Lapindo mud under Pb...

Removal of Copper and Zinc Using Biochar from Wild Sugarcane (Saccharum spontaneum L.): Sustainable Heavy Metal Removal from Aqueous Media

Water contamination by heavy metals is a major global concern resulting from anthropogenic activities and natural geological processes. Their removal and recovery are important for protecting water resources and addressing the depletion of critical metals. This study evaluated wild sugarcane (WSC) biochar as an adsorbe...

Biochar derived from bean husk for the removal of lead and hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions

Heavy metals are among the most prevalent and difficult environmental pollutants to manage. This study explored the conversion of bean husks into biochar and evaluated its effectiveness as an inexpensive adsorbent to eliminate Pb(II) and Cr(VI) from water. Several analytical methods were utilized to ascertain the prope...
