Marine micro and macro algal species as biosorbents for heavy metals
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 6Nr. 3
AbstractThis paper reviews some practical aspects of the application of algal biomass for the biosorption of heavy metals from wastewater. The ability of different algal species to remove metals varies with algal group and morphology, with the speciation of specific metals and their competition with others in wastewater, and with environmental or process factors. The scattered literature on the uptake of heavy metals by both living and dead algal biomass - both macroalgae and immobilized microal...

Abstract Textile dyeing process is an important source of contamination responsable for the continous pollution of the environment. Control of water pollution has importance for both organisms, which live in water and those who benefit from water. Many dyes reaching the water source are difficult to decompose and cause many problems due to their carcinogenicity. Consequently, it is important to remove these pollutants from wastewater before their final disposal. This paper reports the resuls ...

The sorption kinetics was described by the pseudo-first-order (PFO), pseudo-second-order (PSO) and modified pseudo-n-order (MPnO) equations, from which the MPnO model provided the best fit to the experimental data. The surface reaction was identified as a rate-limiting step governing the dye sorption on wood shavings, but a mixed kinetics (with a ...

BIOSORPTION OF ZINC (II) FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS BY NONLIVING LICHEN BIOMASS OF Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr.
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 15Nr. 12
In this study, the biosorption of zinc(II) ions from the aqueous solutions by the lichen biomass of Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr. was studied as a function of contact time, initial pH of metal solution, biosorbent concentration, initial metal ion concentration and stirring speed in a batch system. The optimum pH value for maximum zinc biosorption was found to be 5.5. Concentrations intervals from 50 mg/L to 250 mg/L were tested and it was observed that the biosorption efficiency depends on th...

ION-EXCHANGE MECHANISM IN BIOSORPTION OF Pb2+ IONS FROM CONTAMINATED WATER BY BANANA STALK WASTE
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 15Nr. 12
Banana stalk (BS) waste is used to remove Pb2+ from aqueous solution. Equilibrium data were analyzed with Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models, which fit better in the former equation. The qmax (maximum metal uptake capacity) for Pb2+ adsorption was 105.14 mg/g of BS at pH 5.0, which followed pseudo-second order kinetics model. IR spectra confirmed the participation of hydroxyl, amino, and acidic functional moieties in the removal of Pb2+. The major mechanism involved in the biosorption of ...

COMPETITIVE BIOSORPTION OF Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) AND Zn(II) USING COMPOSTED LIVESTOCK WASTE IN BATCH AND COLUMN EXPERIMENTS
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 16Nr. 2
Composted livestock waste (CLW) was studied as one low-cost material to remove Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) from simulated acid mine drainage (AMD) by batch and column experiments. The adsorption isotherm data were well fitted by the Langmuir model. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacities were 0.5485 mmol/g for Pb(II), 0.4092 mmol/g for Cu(II), 0.2246 mmol/g for Cd(II), and 0.1879 mmol/g for Zn(II) at pH 4.0. Due to the competition effect, the adsorption capacity of the single metal ion...

EFFECT OF PRETREATMENT ON Ceratophyllum demersum FOR ENHANCED BIOSORPTION OF Cr(VI) AND Cd(II)
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 16Nr. 2
In this work, twenty different physical and chemical methods were used to study the effect of pretreatment on Cr(VI) and Cd(II) biosorption by an aquatic plant (Ceratophyllum demersum) biomass. The H3PO4 boiled biomass had the highest biosorption capacity (45 mg/g) for Cr(VI). The NaOH boiled biomass showed a higher biosorption capacity for Cd(II) (63 mg/g). Dunnett's test was carried out to compare the biosorption capacity of raw biomass with those pretreated by H3PO4 and NaOH, and the resu...

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN FOR THE OPTIMIZATION OF COPPER BIOSORPTION BY IMMOBILIZED NANOSCALE Lentinus edodes
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 16Nr. 11
An experimental design methodology was applied to study the copper removal from aqueous solutions by immobilized nanoscale Lentinus edodes. The effect of the various variables (biomass loading, initial metal ions concentration, PH, contact time, agitation speed and temperature) were studied in the batch experiment. The results showed that pH, contact time and agitation speed were the most significant variables on biosorption of copper ions determined by Minimum Run Equireplicated Res V Design...

EVALUATION OF COPPER AND LEAD BIOSORPTION ON MODIFIED Azolla pinnata (R. Br.)
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 17Nr. 1
This paper investigates the macrophyte Azolla pinnata modified with sodium hydroxide, as a bioadsorbent for Cu2+ and Pb2+ ions in synthetic solutions. Biomaterial characterization was performed using Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM); Energy- Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX); Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy techniques and through the blocking of carboxylic and sulfonic functional groups. Kinetics of the process has highlighted a quick and efficient adsorption, even in low ...

THERMODYNAMICS, KINETICS AND EQUILIBRIUM STUDIES OF URANIUM SORPTION BY Gracilaria corticata RED ALGA
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 17Nr. 5
In this research, the capability of uranium biosorption by dried biomass of the red algae was investigated in a batch system. For the screening of the most appropriate biosorbent, they were placed in 0.5 mmol/L uranium solution with different pH for 3hrs of contact times. The obtained results showed that the species of the Gracilaria corticata (J. Agardh) are having the maximum rate of the biosorption. Sorption equilibrium was reached within 3hrs of contact time (at pH 4.5), and the results of t...

BINARY BIOSORPTION OF Cu(II)-Pb(II) MIXTURES ONTO PINE NUTS SHELL IN BATCH AND PACKED BED SYSTEMS
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 17Nr. 6
The study of binary biosorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) was performed by pine nuts shell. Results were compared with the single biosorption of Pb(II) and the single biosorption of the Cu(II). Experiments were performed in batch stirred and in a continuous system. The presence of lead caused a slightly decrease of the copper biosorption yield and can be related to the copper equilibrium uptake. This antagonistic action can be related to competition phenomena between metal ions in solution for active...

ASSESSMENT OF KINETICS, EQUILIBRIUM AND THERMODYNAMICS OF BLACK KROM KJR DYE ADSORPTION ONTO AQUATIC MACROPHYTE Pistia stratiote
Environmental Engineering and Management JournalVol. 17Nr. 11
The macrophyte Pistia stratiote was used as biosorbent for the removal of Black Krom KJR (BK-KJR) dye in synthetic aqueous solution. Initially, some tests were performed to verify the best operational conditions such as pH, biosorbent particle size, sorption temperature and stirring speed, which were later used in the kinetic and equilibrium tests. All tests were performed in duplicate. The highest removal rates of the pollutant were achieved at the process conditions of initial pH 2, granulo...
