“…1a). Similar observations were earlier reported by other researchers [5,28,34]. The reason for decrease in adsorption may be due to interaction of dye molecules with hydroxyl ions at higher pH resulting in formation of soluble hydroxylated complexes and their competition for active-binding sites [35].…”

“…In the removal of Remazol Blue and Cu (II) by Aspergillus versicolor biomass, it has been reported that maximum removal percentage was observed to be at pH 5 [32]. In addition and in agreement with our results, maximum removal of copper (II) and cadmium (II) by free and immobilized biomass of A. niger was observed at 5.5 [33]; maximum removal of dyes from anaerobically digested spent wash by A. niger biomass, was observed at pH 5.5 [34]; and the removal of Pb (II) by A. niger and A. versicolor biomass was reported to be optimal at pH 5 [35]. In our previously published work, pH 5.3 was found to be the optimal value for the removal of Cr (III) from model solutions [31], showing that pH 5-5.5 was favorable to sorption of pollutants by fungi, especially heavy metals, in agreement with the present findings.…”

“…A. niger and A. oryzae growth and Cr (III) removal efficiency were shown to be optimal at 30˚C [31]. In addition, 30˚C has been reported to be the optimal temperature for the removal of reactive dyes and heavy metals by means of A. versicolor [32], as well as for the removal of Pb (II) by A. niger and A. versicolor [35].…”

“…Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was employed to get an idea about the possible mechanism of adsorption by identifying the functional groups present on the cell surface of ROB because, each group has a unique energy absorption band [18] and thus, FTIR spectrum of pristine ROB ( Figure 10) exhibits distinct peaks suggesting the presence of amine, carbonyl, phosphate, and hydroxyl groups. The broad mixed stretching vibrations frequency of N-H and O-H are observed in the region of 3500-3300 cm −1 and those for alkyl chains are found around 2920-2850 cm −1 .…”

“…Different textile dyes can be removed using microbial biomass including bacteria, fungi, and algae by biosorption and biodegradation [15] which consume less chemicals and energy. Some low-cost fungal biosorbent has been developed for the removal of dye and metal ions from wastewater, which included Trametes versicolor, [16] Corynebacterium glutamicum, [17] Aspergillus versicolor, [18] Lentinus sajor caju, [19,20] Rhizopus nigricans, [21] Aspergillus niger, [9] Aspergillus fumigates, [22] and Phanerocheate chrysosporium. [23,24] However, a few studies have been focused on utilization of the fungal biomass for Reactive Blue 4 biosorption.…”
