Abstract

In recent years, increasing water pollution with heavy metals from anthropogenic sources has been observed. Heavy metals can be extremely toxic to living organisms and for that reason it is necessary to find an adequate method of water purification. Biosorption has proven to be a very favorable method for removing heavy metals from polluted water with a number of advantages over conventional methods. This paper presents an overview of scientific research on the application of eight different biosorbents for the removal of the most common heavy metals from water. The aim of this paper is to determine the basic characteristics of biosorbents (metal removal efficiency, capacity) and the influence of various factors (amount of biosorbent, particle size, pH value, contact time, temperature, initial concentration of metals in solution) on biosorption.
