Biosorption has been a research topic for some decades, following the rationale that biosorbents offer somemore advantages over inert conventional materials and that the technology is more competitive compared withto conventional processes. In addition it has been suggested that biosorption plays an important role in conventional biotreatment processes and in the environment, indicating that research should be oriented towards the understanding of sorption mechanisms in these two fields
