چکیده مقاله:
Introduction: Biosorption of heavy metals can be an effective process for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Also, living lichens are known to accumulate metals across their surface. Materials and methods: In this study, the biosorption of cadmium ions Cd (II) by the lichens Acarospora strigata, Lecanora muralis and Caloplaca aurantia was investigated in aqueous solution in a batch system with respect to pH, biomass dosage, temperature initial cadmium ion concentration and contact time. Results: The biosorption capacity of the biomass was found to be 6.9 mg/g at pH 7 for L. muralis, 7.6 mg/g at pH 6 for A. strigata and 8.6 mg/g at pH 7 for C. aurantia. The experimental adsorption data were fitted to the Freundlich adsorption model. Experimental data were also tested in terms of kinetic characteristics and it was found that biosorption processes of Cd (II) ions followed well pseudo-second-order kinetics. Conclusion: The results indicated that the biomass of L. muralis, A. strigata and C. aurantia are suitable biosorbents for removing Cd (II) from aqueous solutions and among these three species, C. aurantia has greater ability to remove cadmium from aqueous solutions.

متن کاملIons from Aqueous Solutions by Biosorption Processes
Due to the disadvantages of heavy metal removal from aqueous sytems by conventional methods, alternative new methods have been investigated lately. Biosorption is one of these new methods. In this method, metal ions are transported into cell structure, and removal is ensured by several mechanisms that occured between living or non-living microorganisms and metal ions. The metal removal, the use...

Removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Cadmium Sulfide Nanoparticles
In this study, cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdS NPs) were prepared, characterized and used as a new adsorbent for simultaneous removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Using a batch adsorption method, the effects of solution pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and temperature were studied and optimized. Removal efficiencies, higher than 98% were obtained for both the met...
