Biosorption characteristics of uranium(VI) from aqueous solution by pummelo peel

Abstract: The biomass pummelo peel was chosen as a biosorbent for removal of uranium(VI) from aqueous solution. The feasibility of adsorption of U(VI) by Pummelo peel was studied with batch adsorption experiments. The effects of contact time, biosorbent dosage and pH on adsorption capacity were investigated in detail. The pummelo peel exhibited the highest U(VI) sorption capacity 270.71 mg/g at an initial pH of 5.5, concentration of 50 lg/ mL, temperature 303 K and contacting time 7 h. The adsorption process of U(VI) wa… Show more

“…In general, heavy metal ions in wastewaters can be removed by physical, chemical and biological methods such as biosorption, flocculation, coagulation, precipitation, membrane filtration and electrochemical techniques [6][7][8][9][10]. Among them, biosorption is becoming one of the more attractive alternative methods for the removal of radioactive and heavy metals ions from wastewater [11][12][13][14]. Biosorption is not only cost effective, but it also provides an opportunity for the recycling of waste materials [15,16].…”

“…A variety of low cost fungal materials (native and modified) have been used as biosorbents for the removal of organic pollutants and heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions, including Lentinus sajor-caju [3,[17][18][19], Trametes versicolor [6], Aspergillus niger [14,20], and Lentinus edodes [21][22][23][24][25]. Additionally, uranium biosorption by various microbial biomasses (i.e., fungi, yeast, algae, and unicellular bacteria) are reported in the literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. These microbial biomasses are capable of uptake of uranium greater than 40 % of their dry biomass weight.…”

“…The commonly used traditional technologies for removing lead ions from effluents include adsorption, chemical precipitation, ion exchange, and membrane separation, etc. Among them, biosorption appears to offer a technically feasible, cost effective, and less secondary pollution approach to the removal of lead ions from aqueous solutions [3].…”
