Evaluation of different isotherm models, kinetic, thermodynamic, and copper biosorption efficiency of<i>Lobaria pulmonaria</i>(L.) Hoffm.

Abstract

Lobaria pulmonaria is a promising biosorbent for Cu(II) ions because of its availability, low cost, and high metal biosorption and desorption capacities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper on the biosorption Cu by L. pulmonaria.
