Response surface optimization for cadmium biosorption onto the pre-treated biomass of red algae Digenia simplex as a sustainable indigenous biosorbent by Sedky H.A. Hassan, Maryam M. Alomran, Nada I.A. Alsugiran, Mostafa Koutb, Hassan Ahmed, Mustafa A. Fawzy

“…Moreover, cadmium removal from agricultural wastewater samples by pretreated D. simplex was evaluated under the optimal conditions, and the removal rate excessed 97%. Kinetic and isotherm investigations showed that the pseudo-second-order, Freundlich, Langmuir, and Dubinin–Radushkevich models of cadmium biosorption on pretreated algal biomass correlated well with the experimental biosorption data, implying that the biosorption of Cd2+ is a homogeneous monolayer and multilayer chemisorption process. …”
