The current work used a batch study to investigate the efficiency of Ulva lactuca carbon for lead adsorption from aqueous solution. For the optimization study, the effects of several parameters such as pH, Adsorbent dosage, effective contact time, and initial concentration on lead removal were also considered. pH 3 was observed to be the most beneficial. The Langmuir isotherm, which represents mono-layer adsorption, yielded a maximum lead absorption of 3.49 mg/g. SEM was used to examine surface adsorption behavior, and FTIR was used to detect probable functional groups involved in the bio-adsorption experiment. This study shows that biochar made from the marine algae Ulva lactuca is effective for waste water treatment.

The valorification of the marine biomass is an important resource for many industries like pharmaceutical, supplying raw material for the extraction of bioactive substances (vitamins, sterols and collagen), cosmetics, biofertilizers and wastewater treatment. In the last years a special attention has been given to the use of macroalgae. The aim of this study was to emphasize the capacity of two representative green algae species frequent presents on the Romanian shore, Ulva lactuca (L.) and Cladophora vagabunda (L.) Hoek, to remove two usual detergents from wastewater. The green algae washed, dried at room temperature, macerated to powder were introduced into different filter paper for comparison, then immersed in waste water treated with different concentrations of detergents. Tap water was used for the experiment. The results show that Ulva lactuca (L.) species is suitable than Cladophora vagabunda (L.) Hoek species, for wastewater treatment.
