Development of an effective biosorbent by fungal immobilization technique for removal of dyes

Charcoal activated carbon was modified through immobilization techniques on fungal biomass. Two fungal strains i.e. Aspergillus niger and Penicillium sp. were selected to immobilize the charcoal activated carbon on fungal biomass. The percentage of biomass production onto activated carbon was 88% f...
