Hexavalent chromium removal by waste mycelium of Aspergillus awamori
In this study , the Cr(VI) rem oval potential of waste mycelium from the industrial x ylanase-producing strain Aspergillus awamori was evaluated. It was d etermined by FTIR analy sis that a mino groups fro m the major fungal wall con stituents, chitin and chitosan, pl ayed a key role in t he metal bindi ng process. The effect of pH, initial ion c oncentration, temperature and amount of biomass ...
متن کاملRemoval of hexavalent chromium using coffee husk
The potential to remove chromium(VI) from aqueous solutions through biosorption using coffee husk was investigated. The effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration and adsorbent dosage on the adsorption of Cr(VI) were studied. The data obeyed Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The Langmuir adsorption capacity was found to be 44.95 mg/g. The Freundlich constants Kf and n were 1...
متن کاملMechanisms of hexavalent chromium resistance and removal by microorganisms.
Chromium has been and is extensively used worldwide in multiple industrial processes and is routinely discharged to the environment from such processes. Therefore, this heavy metal is a potential threat to the environment and to public health, primarily because it is non-biodegradable and environmentally persistent. Chromium exists in several oxidation states, the most stable of which are triva...
متن کاملRemoval of Trivalent and Hexavalent Chromium by Seaweed Biosorbent
Protonated or Ca-form Sargassum seaweed biomass bound up to 40 mg/g of Cr(III) by ion exchange at pH 4. An ion-exchange model assuming that the only species taken up by the biomass was Cr(OH)2+ successfully fitted the experimental biosorption data for Cr(III). The maximum uptake of Cr(VI) by protonated Sargassum biomass at pH 2 was explained by simultaneous anion exchange and Cr(VI) to Cr(III) ...
متن کاملHexavalent Chromium (VI) Removal by Penicillium sp. IA-01
The objective of this work was to study the removal of chromium (VI) in aqueous solution by the fungus Penicillium sp. IA-01, isolated from polluted air with industrial vapors. To obtain the fungal biomass, pre-inoculums were performed in thioglycolate broth from a strain isolated from vapours contaminated with Cr (VI). The fungus was incubated for four weeks at ambient temperature, filtered, a...
