Since heavy metal pollution is a significant aspect to aquatic ecosystems, the objective of this research work was to investigate adsorption characteristics of chitosan as an alternative adsorbent material. In this study, chitosan, synthesized from locally available shrimp type “penaeus monodon” was used to observe adsorption characteristics of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) heavy metals from aqueous...
In the present study we reported the feasibility of Pseudomonas alcaligenes biomass as an alternative biosorbent to remove Pb(II) metallic ions from environmental and industrial wastewater. The ability of Pseudomonas alcaligenes to remove the metallic ions was investigated by using batch biosorption procedure. The effects such as, pH, biosorbent dosage, sorbate concentrations and sorbate-sorbent contact...
In the present study we reported the feasibility of extracellular biopolymer (PF-9) produced by Pseudomonas fluorescence C-9 as an alternative biosorbent to remove Pb(II) metallic ions from environmental and industrial wastewater.The ability of PF-9 to remove the metallic ions was investigated by using batch biosorption procedure. The effects such as, pH, biosorbent dosage, sorbate concentrations...
The kinetics and thermodynamics characteristics of Pb(II) and Cu(II) adsorption onto fly ash of a oil shale-fired power plant was investigated by using batch adsorption method. The results showed that Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms were applicable to the adsorption process, while Freundlich equation is more applicable. The mechanistic steps of the adsorption process was studied through...
A new adsorbent was developed from municipal sewage sludge (SS) combined with 5-20% pyrolusite of the weight of SS carbon, and using ZnCl2 as chemical activation reagent. Characterized by N2-BET methods and SEM, the result showed that the surface area of the new adsorbent was increased to 354.198 m2/g compared with that of the unmi- xed sludge activated carbon 232.526 m2/g and total pore and micropore...
Tobermorite is a mineral material with good ion exchange properties. The potassium feldspar ore from Lushi country is muscovite syenite. Potassium feldspar was hydrothermally decomposed with CaO as an additive, and then tobermorite nano-scale powder was synthesized. Based on the research work of our group, the adsorption property of tobermorite to Pb2+ from aqueous solution was studied. The factors...
The Pb(II) biosorption characteristics of Pseudomonas fluorescens PFC02 biomass was examined as a function of initial pH, contact time and initial metal ion concentration. FTIR spectra showed that the principal functional sites taking part in the sorption process included carboxyl , hydroxyl groups and -CH3 stretching groups, the mechanism analysis showed that the chemical chelating was the main adsorption...
