Equilibrium and Kinetic Studies on Removal of Binary Metal Ions Using Immobilized Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, biosorption of copper and zinc ions on Baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae was investigated. The data of batch experiments was used to perform equilibrium and kinetic studies. The experimental results were fitted well to the Langmuir and Freundlich model isotherms. According to the parameters of Langmuir isotherm, the maximum biosorption capacities of copper and zinc ions onto immobilized yeast were 5.408mg/g and 1.479mg/g at 293 Kfor the treated beads. Competitive biosorption of two metal ions was investigated in terms of maximum sorption quantity. The binding capacity for copper ions is more than the zinc ions for both untreated and treated immobilized yeast.While, for the kinetic studies, the pseudo second order model was found the most suitable model for the present systems.
