Modeling and optimization of Hg 2+ ion biosorption by live yeast Yarrowia lipolytica 70562 from aqueous solutions under artificial neural network-genetic algorithm and response surface methodology: kinetic and equilibrium study

This study was devoted to the investigation of Hg 2+ ion biosorption by a live yeast organism, namely, Yarrowia lipolytica 70562 (supplied commercially), which was sufficiently identified and studied by SEM-EDS and FT-IR methods.
