Biosorption of residual oil using biomass derived from Pistia stratiotes: Batch studies

Biosorption of oil from wastewater was investigated by Pistia stratiotes in batch studies at different sorbent dosage (0.02 to 0.10 g per 100 mL), pH (2 to 6) and oil water ratio (2 to 10 g per 100 mL). Removal of oil was determined by measuring the oil concentration before and after the sorption process.
