LODEIRO, Pablo; BARRIADA, José L.; HERRERO, Roberto    VICENTE, Manuel E. Sastre de. Electrostatic Effects in Biosorption: The Role of the Electrochemistry . []. , 25, 1, pp.43-54. ISSN 0872-1904.

Biosorption is the passive sequestration of pollutants by non-metabolizing non-living biomass. The technique emerged in 1980’s as a possible alternative method for wastewater treatments in an environmentally friendly manner. In this paper it is shown that a basic research in biosorption processes is closely related to the field of Electrochemistry according to the conceptual division of this area in Ionics and Electrodics.
