Previous studies have indicated that the iota- and the kappa- types of carrageenans are capable of binding with Pb, Cd and Zn ions and that the iota-carrageenan exhibits a higher metal binding capacity. The good metal sorbing property of iota-carrageenan suggests its possible participation in the re...
