| Abstract: | In a developing
country like India,.
the rush for rapid industrial development coupled with lack of awareness about
metal toxicity has become a serious concern to environmentalists. Some
technologies, which are used in developed countries for detoxifying metals from
industrial effluents, cannot be used in India due to economic
constraints. Therefore, there is an urgent need for
developing an economical and environment-friendly technology. At the same time,
it is essential to prevent the loss of metals through the effluents. The 'Metal
Biosorption' process provides a promising alternative method for economical recovery
of metals. |
