This study investigated the biosorption efficiency of Mn (II) by algae (Thalassiosira pseudonana) and membrane performance in a hybrid algae-membrane system. The presence of Mn (II) at 2–10 mM could influence (i.e., at lower algal inoculation ratio of OD = 0.1) or showed negligible effect (i.e., at...
