dc.description.abstractA long‐term study of the desorption kinetics of Cu2+from biosorbent materials in water and seawater environments was carried out. The biosorbents were un‐treated and pre‐treated biomass of marine alga Durvillaea potatorum.The pre‐treatment of the biomass was carried out with calcium chloride (CaCl2) solution followed by thermal treatment. The biosorbents were loaded with Cu2+in batch adsorption experiments and the desorption kinetics were measured in water and seawater in static batch desorption experiments for a period over 10 months. The physical and structure characteristics of the biosorbents were also examined under a microscope. The un‐treated biosorbent structure completely broke down in 2 and 1 months in water and seawater environments, respectively. The pre‐treatment procedure applied improved the biosorbent stability and its long term desorption rate was extremely low.
