abstract

in the present investigation the biosorption potential of rosa gruss an teplitz (red rose) waste biomass (rrwb) for the removal of pb(ii) and co(ii) from aqueous solutions was studied. the effect of different process parameters such as ph, biosorbent dose, biosorbent size, temperature, contact time, initial metal concentration and pretreatments on the biosorption capacity of this waste biomass was studied. the results showed that the equilibrium data for both metal ions followed the langmuir isotherm with a biosorption capacity of 112.0 and 115.9 mg/g for pb(ii) and co(ii) respectively. the overall biosorption process was best described by pseudo-second-order kinetics. modification of red rose waste biomass by pretreating with different reagents significantly improved its biosorption capacity. a maximum biosorption capacity of 99.72 and 51.68 mg/g was observed for pb(ii) and co(ii) by treating the biomass with methanol and polyethyleneimine + glutraldehyde respectively. the results clearly indicated that red rose waste biomass has a potential to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions.

Biosorption of Cd2+ and Cu2+ from aqueous solution using Gracilaria corticata waste biomass

Pollution of aquatic environments by toxic trace metals has been taking place because of discharge of untreated effluents from many industrial processes. Conventional methods used for removing dissolved heavy metal ions from wastewaters have significant disadvantages including incomplete metal removal, requirements for expensive equipment, high energy requirements and generation of toxic sludge...

The Application of Biosorption for Production of Micronutrient Fertilizers Based on Waste Biomass

In the present paper, new environmental-friendly fertilizer components were produced in biosorption process by the enrichment of the biomass with zinc, essential in plant cultivation. The obtained new preparations can be used as controlled release micronutrient fertilizers because microelements are bound to the functional groups present in the cell wall structures of the biomass. It is assumed ...

Statistical Analysis and Optimization of Acid Dye Biosorption by Brewery Waste Biomass Using Response Surface Methodology

Biosorption of Acid Yellow (AY 17) and Acid Blue (AB 25) were investigated using a biomass obtained from brewery industrial waste spent brewery grains (SBG). A 2 full factorial response surface central composite design with seven replicates at the centre point and thus a total of 31 experiments were employed for experimental design and analysis of the results. The combined effect of time, pH, a...
