Abstract

The present investigation shows that substantial amount of iron ions biosorption from aqueous solution onto the biomass of dried cells of blue green alga Spirulina platensis and green alga Chlorella vulgaris at different iron concentrations. The IR analysis for surface function group of algal biomass revealed the existence of amino, carboxyl, hydroxyl and carbonyl groups, which are responsible for the biosorption of iron. Also, the results of scanning electron microscope analysis suggested that the biomass of S. platensis and C. vulgaris are an extremely efficient biosorbent for the removal of iron from aqueous solutions.
