The capacity of dry protonated calcium alginate beads to sorb metals from an industrial effluent was studied and compared with a commercial ion-exchange resin (Lewatit TP 207). Both sorbents decreased zinc; nickel; iron and calcium concentrations in the effluent; and released sodium during treatment. Alginate beads removed lower amounts of heavy metals than the resin; but exhibited faster uptake kinetics. Zinc desorption from the sorbents was achieved in 30 minutes using 0.1 M HCl or 0.1 M H2SO4. Desorption ratios with these acids varied between 90 and 100% for alginate; and 98 to 100% for the ion-exchange resin. Reusability tests with HCl showed that alginate beads can stand acid desorption and recover binding capacity. Overall; the comparison of dry protonated alginate beads with the resin supports the potential of the biosorbent for the treatment of industrial effluents. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group; LLC;
