| Brief content | Various treatment technologies have been applied to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Among them, adsorption is regarded as one of the most popular. In this study, the possibility of using dried waste biomass of fungus Ganoderma lucidum as biosorbent for removal of lead (II) (as Pb(NO3)2 salt) and cadmium (II) (as Cd(NO3)2 salt) was investigated. Dried biomass was pretreated using three different techniques. Results showed that investigated biomass can be used as potential biosorbent for lead (II) and cadmium (II). |
