Abstract
In recent years studies related to the metal ions biosorption on biological materials have increased significantly. Unfortunately, the relatively low biosorptive performances of most of natural biomasses have determined the finding of simple and cheap methods for the separation of various compounds from biomass composition, which are more efficient in the biosorption processes. Alginate is an active compound found in marine algae, and which is a great interest in environmental engineering. In this study are adapted and compared two methods for alginate extraction using red algae biomass (Callithamnion corymbosum sp.) as raw material. The main advantages and disadvantages of each extraction procedure are highlighted, in order to provide the best way to extract the alginate from marine algae biomass. Also, the biosoptive performances of the extracted alginate was tested in the biosorption process of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution.
