The Department of Environment and Pollution held a seminar entitled “Removing Some Heavy Metals from Water Using Bio Charcoal Produced from Spirulina Algae.”
The seminar included a lecture by the master’s student, Khitam Jamil, under the supervision of Professor Dr. Sadiq Kazem, which dealt with the role of microalgae in the bioremediation of heavy metals, the mechanism of absorption of these metals, and the factors affecting removal efficiency.
The seminar touched on the ability of biochar to remove some heavy metals that pollute water, and the use of some modern techniques to diagnose the adsorbent surfaces of biochar and magnetized biochar in the treatment of heavy metals.
