Contaminationoftheaquaticenvironmentbyheavymetals

Biosorption,basedonthemetalbindingcapacitiesofvarious

However,thereisstillverylittleinformationavailableon

Pleurotusostreatuswaschoseninthisstudybecauseit

itsbiomassischeapandeasilyavailable.Leadwaschosen
becauseofitshightoxicity.Theobjectiveofthisstudywas
toinvestigatethekineticsandmechanismoflead
