Abstract
For the removal of heavy metals from the food cycle, natural processes can be used. The bio-molecules that bind metals in natural systems can make certain types of biomass suitable for metal sequestration in industrial biosorption processes which are described in this chapter. Biosorption can serve as a tool for the recovery of precious metals and the elimination of toxic metals. The term “biosorption” is used to describe the passive accumulation of metals or radioactive elements by biological materials. Usually, dead biomass serves as a basis for a family of biosorbents. In most cases, working with dead biomass offers more advantages and is therefore the object of the majority of more practically oriented biosorption studies. Some authors consider only an exchange of electrostatically bound ions to be ion exchange, and in the chapter the authors adopt a broader definition of this term. The occurrence of the groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl, sulfhydryl, sulfonate, and phosphonate) in different types of biomass is discussed. The influence of the most important parameters on the biosorption equilibrium is described in qualitative terms. The chapter deals with quantitative modeling of the key phenomena, and presents the biosorption equilibrium models. These models are the basis for modeling of dynamic processes, e.g., in columns, that are of greater industrial relevance and are described in detail. Important progress has been made in understanding the mechanism of biosorption and in quantitative modeling of this process under controlled laboratory conditions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
