Application of a breakthrough biosorbent for removing heavy metals from synthetic and real wastewaters in a lab-scale continuous fixed-bed column

Abstract: A continuous fixed-bed study was carried out utilising a breakthrough biosorbent, specifically multi-metal binding biosorbent (MMBB) for removing cadmium, copper, lead and zinc. The effect of operating conditions, i.e. influent flow rate, metal concentration and bed depth was investigated at pH 5.5±0.1 for a synthetic wastewater sample. Results confirmed that the total amount of metal adsorption declined with increasing influent flow rate and also rose when each metal concentration also increased. The maximum … Show more

“…Table 2 is demonstrating the results obtained from the column. The breakthrough times of these curves decrease, and the curves dispersed and emerged slowly with increasing initial inlet concentration as demonstrated in Figure 4 at 20 mg/L concentration this effect was also observed by (Abdolali et al, 2017). Higher removal percentage was observed with the decrease of inlet concentration (Oguz et al, 2014).…”

“…The same behavior was previously reported. [37][38][39][40] Evaluating zinc removal on a fixed-bed using specifically multimetal binding biosorbent (MMBB), Abdolali et al 41 observed a maximum biosorption capacity of 0.539 mmol g -1 . The authors used the following experimental conditions: 0.3 mmol L -1 (initial concentration), 10 mL min -1 (flow rate) and bed length of 31 cm.…”
