A Study of the Suitability of Microbial Cells for the Biosorption and Bioaccumulation of Heavy Metal Removal

Heavy metal contamination in the natural environment can occur as long-term site pollution or surges of pollutants from wastewater discharge. It is well recognized that heavy discharge processing industries has a negative impact on environment. Conventional methods removal aqueous solutions are not cost-effective and produce large amounts harmful chemical sludge. A novel alternative approach to removing metals involve biosorption these contaminants by non-living, metabolically inert biomass either derived microorganisms plants. One key elements environmental bioresource technologies today biosorption. Due their high surface-to-volume ratio, wide availability, quick kinetics adsorption desorption, low cost, microorganisms—more specifically, bacteria, algae, yeasts, fungi—have attracted increasing attention biosorbents for metals. Analyzing utilizing diverse biological components, such fungi, yeast, bacterial biomass, goal current study. This article discusses advantages waste streams, gives brief overview technology’s potential bioaccumulation, emphasizes undelaying features operational factors like pH, dose required be given, initial concentration, temperature, efficiency treatment, its economic significance.
