Popis: Phycoremediation of heavy metals has garnered considerable recent research interest. In this study, an indigenous microalga (Chlamydomonas sp.)-based biosorbent was employed for biosorption of Cr(VI) dissolved solids (Cr(VI)-DS), optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of microalga concentration, pH, and contact time were studied with 250 mg Cr(VI)-DS L-1 . The biosorption of Cr(VI)-DS was higher at acidic pH (94.17% at pH 4) than at alkaline conditions (68.53% at pH 10). The interaction of pH and microalga concentration exerted significant (p
