Abstract
⺠Arthrospira platensis and Chlorella vulgaris are potential sorbents of Ni2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ mixtures. ⺠A. platensis and C. vulgaris exhibit the following affinity order: Pb2+ > Zn2+ > Ni2+. ⺠Zn2+ and Ni2+ compete somewhat equally in A. platensis and C. vulgaris biosorption. ⺠Pb2+ biosorption by A. platensis and C. vulgaris is mostly not affected by Zn2+ and Ni2+. ⺠C. vulgaris proved a better sorbent than A. platensis in Ni2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ biosorption.
