2. Biosorbents for separation and/or analytical preconcentration
2.1 Application of biosorbents
A biosorbent is a material of biological origin, or one composed of biological components immobilized on the surface or within a solid support, that has the ability to capture, more or less selectively, certain organic or inorganic chemical species.
The use of biosorbents for separation and analytical preconcentration has been a rapidly expanding field for the past thirty years. These materials can vary greatly in origin and nature: they may include microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, fungi, microalgae), plant derivatives, industrial or agricultural plant waste, or contain biomolecules such as antibodies or biopolymers (chitosan, alginate, etc.). The use of these types of materials, and their...
