Biosorption of Synthetic Dye by Macrofungi

This research project aimed to provide an environmentally friendly method for the decolorization and biosorption of synthetic dye by utilizing fungi as biosorbents. The study was carried out first growing in solid medium then using biosorbent absorb aqueous solution. In stage, screening experiments were among 5 different types fungi, Pleurotus ostreatus determined have highest growth rate. recultivated with Remazol Brilliant Blue R determine its removal ability. sp. exhibited vigorous agar within 2 days. By carrying batch analysis, 4 parameters examined, which effect pH, surfactant concentration (Tween 80), salinity dosage biosorbent. results showed that maximum decolourization can be achieved through establishing acidic condition pH 2, addition 0.1mL Tween 80, 0mg/l sodium chloride concentration, 8 plugs. Lastly, experimental data found fit Jovanovic Isotherm most. conclusion, is capable decolourizing adsorbing particles
