During biosorption of heavy metal by plant biomass the sorbed metal is being released back into the system. What can this be attributed to? Cell lysis or physical sorption involving weak attachments. Or smthing else... It would be great if somebody could suggest related reference or reading material.
Dear Kruti its just enzymatic process,,,,,,,,,, simultaneously your answer is rely on the type of heavy metal u talk about.... I just suggest you as a Forensic Toxicologist that each and every heavy metal gives toxic effect when its in toxic amount that time cell lysis occur due to enzymatic and biochemical changes in cell which leads the osmotic imbalance tooooo...However finally cell will burst or shrink. There are another principles also works that are electron transition, pH imbalance etc which are so deep topics.............
Thank you so much Anand. Could you suggest me a related reference, it would aid my research.
How did U proved, that there was metal release back to system? Did you wash the sorbent prior the desorption experiments?
