13. BIOSSORÇÃO DE Pb(II) POR CASCA DE URUCUM (Bixa orellana) EM SOLUÇÕES AQUOSAS: ESTUDO CINÉTICO, EQUILÍBRIO E TERMODINÂMICO
This study describes the application of new and low cost biosorbent, shells of urucum (Bixa Orellana), for removal of lead ions (Pb(II)) from water solution. The urucum shells were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Batch adsorption experiments were performed in order to evaluate the effect o

14. A Kinetic, Equilibrium, and Thermodynamic Study on the Biosorption of Tl+ and Cd2+ by Eichhornia crassipes Roots Using Carbon Paste Electrode
In this work, Eichhornia crassipes roots were used as a modifier for carbon paste electrode in a biosorption study of thallium (Tl+) and cadmium (Cd2+) ions. The ions were accumulated on modified electrode surfaces at open circuit potential and analyzed by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. Before the biosorption study, the effect of ratio of biomass

15. STUDY OF BINARY AND SINGLE BIOSORPTION BY THE FLOATING AQUATIC MACROPHYTE Salvinia natans
Abstract The performance of Salvinia natans macrophyte to recover lead and chromium from single and bicomponent solutions in batch and fixed bed systems was investigated. Equilibrium data were obtained through isotherms and fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich and D-R models for a single component system. In the fixed bed study the breakthrough curves were carried

16. Evaluation and enhancement of heavy metals bioremediation in aqueous solutions by Nocardiopsis sp. MORSY1948, and Nocardia sp. MORSY2014
ABSTRACT An analysis of wastewater samples collected from different industrial regions of Egypt demonstrated dangerously high levels of nickel (0.27-31.50 mg L-1), chromium (1.50-7.41 mg L-1) and zinc (1.91-9.74 mg L-1) in the effluents. Alarmingly, these heavy metals are among the most toxic knownones to humans and wildlife. Sixty-nine Actinomycete isolates

17. Screening of Trichoderma isolates for their potential of biosorption of nickel and cadmium
Abstract Fourteen Trichoderma isolates were evaluated for their tolerance to two heavy metals, nickel and cadmium. Three isolates, MT-4, UBT-18, and IBT-I, showed high levels of nickel tolerance, whereas MT-4, UBT-18, and IBT-II showed better tolerance of cadmium than the other isolates. Under nickel stress, biomass production increased up to a Ni concentrat

18. Cytocompatibility and biocompatibility of nanostructured carbonated hydroxyapatite spheres for bone repair
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro and in vivo biological responses to nanostructured carbonated hydroxyapatite/calcium alginate (CHA) microspheres used for alveolar bone repair, compared to sintered hydroxyapatite (HA). Material and Methods The maxillary central incisors of 45 Wistar rats were extracted, and the den

19. Removal of the synthetic dye Remazol Brilliant Blue R from textile industry wastewaters by biosorption on the macrophyte Salvinia natans
Batch experiments were carried out for biosorption of Remazol Brilliant Blue R dye onto the macrophyte Salvinia natans. Effects of parameters such as initial dye concentration, pH, biosorbent dosage, contact time and temperature were investigated. Chemical and morphological characteristics of the biosorbent were evaluated before and after the biosorption pro

20. Biosorption of Mn (II), Co (II) and Cr (VI) in a horizontal rotating tubular bioreactor: experiments and evaluation of the integral bioprocess model
In this research, a multi heavy metals removal process with mixed microbial culture was examined in a horizontal rotating tubular bioreactor (HRTB) with different combinations of process parameters. Three metals were selected as examples of cations (manganese and cobalt) and oxy-anion (hexavalent chromium). Hydrodynamic conditions and biomass sorption capaci

21. Kinetic modelling of cadmium and lead removal by aquatic mosses
Because biosorption is a low cost and effective method for treating metal-bearing wastewaters, understanding the process kinetics is relevant for design purposes. In the present study, the performance of the aquatic moss Fontinalis antipyretica for removing cadmium and lead from simulated wastewaters has been evaluated. Five kinetic models (first-order, pseu

22. Biosorption study of Ni2+ and Cr3+ by Sargassum filipendula: kinetics and equilibrium
In this work, the biosorption of Cr3+ and Ni2+ by Sargassum filipendula pre-treated with CaCl2 was studied. Kinetic and equilibrium experiments were carried out for mono- and multi-component solutions in a batch reactor at pH 3.0 and 30 ºC. The results from the kinetic experiments showed that Cr3+ adsorbs slower than Ni2+. This behavior was explained by mea

23. Recovery of copper (II) absorbed in biomass of Cladosporium cladosporioides
The biosorption process, characterized by the use of biomass for removing metals from aqueous solutions, is an attractive technology using inactive and dead biomasses to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions in the absence of metabolic activity necessary for intracellular accumulation. The desorption process, which concentrates the metal previously abso

24. Equilibrium and thermodynamics of azo dyes biosorption onto Spirulina platensis
The equilibrium and thermodynamics of azo dye (tartrazine and allura red) biosorption onto Spirulina platensis biomass were investigated. The equilibrium curves were obtained at 298, 308, 318 and 328 K, and four isotherm models were fitted the experimental data. Biosorption thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS) were estimated. The results showed that t
