Biosorption of Lead (II) and Cadmium (II) from Aqueous Solutions by Protonated Sargassum Sp. Biomass

Comparison of Biosorption of Cadmium (II) from Aqueous Solution, by Bacillus Sp and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies on biosorption of lead(II) and cadmium(II) from aqueous solution by polypores biomass

Polypores (woody pore fungi) biomass has been used as an biosorbent for the removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solution under batch equilibrium experimental conditions. The resulting biosorbent is characterized by SEM and FTIR techniques. The effect of experimental parameters, such as solution pH, biomass dosage, contact time, initial metal ion concentration and temperature of Pb(II) and...

Biosorption of Mercury (II) from Aqueous Solutions onto Fungal Biomass

The biosorption of mercury (II) on 14 fungal biomasses, Aspergillus flavus I-V, Aspergillus fumigatus I-II, Helminthosporium sp., Cladosporium sp., Mucor rouxii mutant, M. rouxii IM-80, Mucor sp 1 and 2, and Candida albicans, was studied in this work. It was found that the biomasses of the fungus M. rouxii IM-80, M. rouxii mutant, Mucor sp1, and Mucor sp 2 were very efficient removing the metal...

Biosorption of Lead (II) and Zinc (II) ions by pre-treated biomass of phanerochaete chrysosporium

The biosorption of heavy metals can be an effective process for the removal of such metal ions from aqueous solutions. In this study, the adsorption properties of nonliving biomass of phanerochaete chrysosporium for Pb (II) and Zn (II) were investigated by the use of batch adsorption techniques. The effects of initial metal ion concentration, initial pH, biosorbent concentration, stirring speed...

Removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) Ions from ‎Aqueous Solutions by Cadmium Sulfide ‎Nanoparticles

   In this study, cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdS NPs) were prepared, characterized and used as a new adsorbent for simultaneous removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Using a batch adsorption method, the effects of solution pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and temperature were studied and optimized. Removal efficiencies, higher than 98% were obtained for both the met...
