Marine Macrophytes: Biosorbents References 607
Part D | 24
and uncorticated filaments, respectively) compared to
species of Gracilaria, which possess a more complex, parenchymatous thallus. Accordingly, it may be
supposed that there is a direct relationship between
the complexity of the thallus and the adsorption of
lead [24.90].
As a whole, these results have opened new perspectives for the utilization of marine macrophytes
as low-cost sorbents in the removal of heavy metals
from wastewater; this is a key step towards the implementation of biosorption technology in industrial and
environmental remediation.
