biosorption

Biosorption is a natural process where biological materials, like algae, bacteria, or plant-based substances, attach and remove pollutants such as heavy metals from water or other liquids. These materials have special molecules on their surfaces that can bind to contaminants, effectively trapping them. This process is environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and often used to treat wastewater contaminated with toxic metals, helping to prevent pollution and protect ecosystems. Biosorption leverages the natural binding properties of these organisms or materials to clean up environmental pollutants efficiently.
