Bioremediation of Heavy Metals
PublicBioremediation of heavy metal is a method of removing metals from a polluted area using plants or biological organisms. Experiments were conducted with lambda-kappa carrageenan (LKC), a biopolymer, to determine if it can be used as a reagent in the bioremediation of copper. It was hypothesized that LKC could provide a highly effective solution for wastewater treatment. Through the experimental analysis herein, it was concluded that the biopolymer is a mediocre bioremediator of copper
