Waste of Rapeseed from Biodiesel Production as a Potential Biosorbent for Heavy Metal Ions
Rapeseed waste from biodiesel production was explored as a biosorbent for the removal of Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions under batch conditions. The optimum value of the initial pH for the sorption of both metal ions was found to be 4.5 to 5. The efficiency of Cu(II) and Cd(II) removal from aqueous solutions varied from 49% to 91% and from 61% to 97%, respectively, by increasing t...
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 کاملEquilibrium and kinetic study on chromium (VI) removal from simulated waste water using gooseberry seeds as a novel biosorbent
Gooseberry seed (Phyllanthus acidus) was used as an adsorbent to determine its feasibility for the removal of Cr(VI). Various parameters such as pH, temperature, contact time, initial metal concentration and adsorbent dosage were investigated to determine the biosorption performance. Equilibrium was attained within 60 minutes and maximum removal of 96% was achieved under the optimum co...
متن کاملChanges of Photosynthetic Behaviors in Kappaphycus alvarezii Infected by Epiphyte
Epiphytic filamentous algae (EFA) were noted as a serious problem to reduce the production and quality of K. alvarezii. The morphological studies revealed that the main epiphyte on K. alvarezii was Neosiphonia savatieri in China. Though the harmful effects of EFA on the production of K. alvarezii have been reported, the detailed mechanism of the N. savatieri in limiting the production of K. alv...
متن کاملEvaluation of Anti-inflammatory, Antidiabetic, Cytotoxic Activity of Kappaphycus Alvarezii
In recent years, a significant number of novel metabolites with potent pharmacological properties (antioxidant, antitumor, anti-HIV etc.) have been discovered from the marine organisms. Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty). Being an invasive in the Gulf of Mannar after 2000 AD, has high content of steroid, phenol etc., this work was the first report of its medical application. The present study investi...
