Biosorption of cadmium(II) from aqueous solution by chitosan encapsulated Zygosaccharomyces rouxii

Abstract: A new type of biosorbent—chitosan encapsulated Zygosaccharomyces rouxii (CZ) was used to remove Cd(II) from aqueous solution. The CZ with Z. rouxii biomass to chitosan of 4:10 (weight ratio) had high removal percentage of Cd(II) and regular spherical shape. Pseudo‐second‐order kinetic model (R2 > 0.9980) and Freundlich adsorption isotherm model (R2 = 0.9913) were suitable to describe the biosorption process. Effects of contact time, initial pH, initial Cd(II) concentration, and biosorbent dose on Cd(II) adsorp… Show more

“…Since the decolourisation decreased in subsequent cycles, it can be hypothesized that biomass increasingly adsorbed uncoloured organic substances, i.e. organochlorine compound, phthalates, solvents, which are often detected in landfill leachates (Jiang et al 2013). On the contrary, humic and fulvic molecules, that are the main responsibles of leachate dark colour (Teuten et al 2009), are probably removed in the first cycle.…”

“…Biosorption is among the most desirable methods for removing radioactive ions and heavy metals from wastewater. In addition to being cost-effective, biosorption offers the possibility of recycling waste materials [20]. Algae are natural biomass and they have varying degrees of affinities for heavy metals [21].…”

“…Thus, efficient and low-cost processes for producing large-scale yeast biomass have evolved. S. cerevisiae is a promising biosorbent that has been shown to eliminate pesticides [31], mycotoxins [32], and trace elements from synthesized water or aqueous solutions, even when deactivated, and it has its highest efficiency in short contact times [7,29,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. Furthermore, the encapsulation of S. cerevisiae in a biopolymer, for example, alginate [32,43,[46][47][48][49][50], is an alternative strategy for their application, as well as being steadier, simple-to-deal with, and economical.…”
