The determination of iron, copper and zinc metal ions removal has been conducted using seaweeds (Kappaphycus sp. and Padina sp.) as biosorbents. The seaweed was dried using two different drying techniques: oven drying (60 °C, 80 °C and 100 °C) and sun drying. The main functional groups responsible f...
