## Abstract The sorption capacity of the brown alga __Fucus vesiculosus__ for copper, cadmium, lead and nickel was investigated. Metal sorption yields were modified using different kinds of pretreatment reagents: HCl, CaCl~2~, formaldehyde, Na~2~CO~3~ and NaOH. The Langmuir isotherm was applied to
A fundamental study of the application of brown algae to the aqueous-phase separation of toxic heavy metals was carried out. The biosorption characteristics of cadmium and lead ions were determined with brown algae, Macrocystis pyrifera, Kjellmaniella crassiforia, and Undaria pinnatifida. A metal bi
