Dear all, we are currently working on Bioremediation of heavy metal by using fungi with the help of formula;
Qe= (Ci-Cf)V/1000 M.
Whereas Qe = mg of metal ions uptake per gram biomass (mg/g), Ci=initial concentration of the metallic ions (mg/L); Cf=final concentration of metallic ions (mg/L); M=dried mass of the biosorbent in the reaction mixture (g) and V=volume of reaction mixture (L).
While, We have following supposed values;
Ci= 381 mg/L
Cf=4.28 mg/L
V= 50 mL
Dry Cell Weight (M)= 7g
Anyone having expertise in this formula Please help us. As we have tried but final result should be in mg/g which is quit contusive. Thanks
you have (381-4.28) * 0.05 = 376.72 * .05 = 18.836 mg that has been fixed
compared to 7 g of biomass = 18.836 / 7 = 2.69 mg of metal / g of biomass
Dear Sir there is nothing showing in your answer please would you like to resend or send me through email? [email protected]

Thanks Sir, but where is 1000 in denominator? Secondly we needs to verify that weather this formula is relable reliableor not?
I have a question too, Ibrar Khan: Why do you use 1000 in denominator. When I perform calculation with units , I did not find any reason for 1000 in denominatoir at all.
Best regards
