Iota-Carrageenan is known to be capable of binding with Pb, Cd and Zn ions. This study investigates the binding properties of i-carrageenan with Pb, Cd, and Zn. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry is used for the analysis of the bound metals.The effective binding capacity was found to be around 1 mm...
