This paper evaluates diatom biomass as a biosorbent for removing Cr, Cd, and PO ions from water. The diatom was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDS) for its crystallinity, functional groups, and morphology. A batch sorption study was conducted to evaluate the parameters influencing Cr, Cd, and PO ions adsorption, and the mechanisms were explored.
