Optimization of nickel biosorption by chemically modified brown macroalgae (Pelvetia canaliculata)

In the present work, various forms of algae Pelvetia canaliculata were prepared by different chemical modifications, in order to get the best form of algae for the maximum uptake of nickel. Potentiometric titration revealed that the carboxyl groups were more abundant (3.9 mmol/g) as compared to hydr...
