Comparative Analysis of Hexavalent Chromium Biosorption Efficiency Using Dead and Live Aspergillus nomius Biomass

Daily industrial activities especially in developing countries produce and discharge wastes containing heavy metals into the water resources making them polluted, threatening human health ecosystem. One such metal is Chromium, hexavalent form of which extremely toxic carcinogenic. Biosorption, process passive cation binding by dead or living biomass, represents a potentially cost-effective way eliminating from wastewater. The potential microorganisms to remove ions solution has been extensively studied; particular, live fungi have recognized as promising class low-cost adsorbents for removal ions. Fungal biomass various advantages; hence, it needs be explored further take its maximum advantage wastewater treatment. In this study, we discuss characteristics sorption, factors influencing removal. Biosorption studies were performed with both effectiveness Cr (VI) biosorption was compared each parameter. It observed that (approximately): 82% while using sulfuric acid pre-treatment agent (hence only biomass) also 96.5% at 1 N. optimum pH 6 when used, 2 used. Maximum Chromium 86% obtained g whereas 0.5 enough obtain efficiency.96% chromium removed 25° C whereas, about 84% used took place 35° C. 95% 69% 1mg/L concentration. 100 ml, mg/L solution, removal, 63% 1.5 300 ml solution. finally concluded fungal better potentials some other inherent advantages over biomass.
