Biosorption potential of the Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea & Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta) were studied in removal of toxic heavy metals such as chromium (Cr) & copper (Cu) from industrial reactive azo dyes effluents in batch mode. The experiments were carried out in ambient conditions at pH 7, 50 & 60 minutes of equilibrium time was obtained in Caulerpa racemosa & Ulva lactuca respectively. The maximum 20.23 % Cr and 42.91 % Cu removal was observed in Caulerpa racemosa. In Ulva lactuca 62.2 % Cr and 70.35 % Cu removal was observed. The biosorption yield towards Cu > Cr observed in both seaweed biomass. Ulva lactuca gives potential biosorption yield as compare to Caulerpa racemosa. .The data are well fitted by the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms shows the favorable biosorption of dye effluent by green seaweed biomass. The data on the kinetic studies fitted well and shows the adsorption kinetics of dyes effluent by both green seaweed biomass followed the pseudo-second order model for biosorption of Cr and Cu, only pseudo first order model was observed in Cr treatment by Ulva lactuca. The SEM analysis shows the uneven surface and cells were damaged & swollen after treatment with effluent and FTIR study reveals the variation in functional groups and decrease in peak intensity indicates the participation of metal binding inside the cells of the biomass. Thus the present study indicates this biomass can be used as effective, eco friendly and low cost material in biosorption of highly polluted water containing heavy metals.
