Cadmium Removal from Marine Sediment by Rhamnolipid Biosurfactant

Article Preview

Abstract:

The cadmium removed from sediment by rhamnolipid biosurfactant was explored in laboratory scale. The results suggest that the biosurfactant can remove cadmium from the sediment efficiently, 40% more than SDS. 200 mg/L rhamnolipid biosurfactant can get 84.02% cadmium removal efficiency from the sediment which contained 0.42 mg/g cadmium. pH affect cadmium removal by rhamnolipid, the best pH was 10. Leaching could also affect cadmium removal, there was a remarkable increasing of cadmium removal efficiency after the second washing, and after 48 h leaching cadmium removal and cadmium absorption got the balance.
