Immobilization of fungal biomass with multi-walled carbon nanotubes as biosorbent

An efficient and effective biosorbent with high performance is needed to remove impurities in solution and the conventional method of adsorption of fungal biomass alone not showing a promising removal of impurities. The immobilization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with fungal biomass (A....
