Pleurotus ostreatus spent mushroom substrate compost (PSMC) is an agricultural waste from mushroom cultivation farms. The potential of PSMC as biosorbent for heavy metal biosorption in batch mode was explored in this study. The optimization and evaluation of washing pretreatment in biosorbent prepar...
