Biosorption of Phenol by a Chemically Treated Wild Macrofungus: Equilibrium and Kinetic Study
نویسنده
چکیده
Phenol is one of the most common water pollutants found in industrial effluents. The phenol removal potential of a chemically modified macrofungus Trametes sp., was investigated in a batch system. The effects of particle size, pH, temperature, contact time and biosorbent dosage have been investigated. The optimum conditions for phenol removal were found to be particle size: 150-300 μm, pH: 6.0 and biosorbent dosage: 6 g/L. The rate of biosorption of phenol was found to be rapid during the initial 30 min and equilibrium was established after 4 h. The results of equilibrium isotherm study showed that the data fitted well to Langmuir isotherm model within the concentration range studied (100-500 mg/L). The maximum adsorption capacity of the biosorbent was found to be 39.37 mg/g. Sorption kinetics was well described by pseudo-second-order kinetics. Desorption with 0.1 M NaOH resulted in 87% desorption of phenol from the biosorbent. The present study proved the applicability of Trametes sp., for the removal of phenol from waste waters.

Kinetic and equilibrium studies of biosorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solution by macrofungus (Amanita rubescens) biomass.
The biosorption characteristics of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution using the macrofungus (Amanita rubescens) biomass were investigated as a function of pH, biomass dosage, contact time, and temperature. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) models were applied to describe the biosorption isotherm of the metal ions by A. rubescens biomass. Langmuir model fitted the equ...
