Biosorption of inorganic and organic arsenic from aqueous solution by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans BY-3

Study on arsenic biosorption using Fe(III)-treated biomass of Staphylococcus xylosus

“…More specifically, Al/Fe modified montmorillonite exhibited lower biosorption capacities of As(III) and As(V) at 18.19 and 21.19 mg·g −1 , whereas other biosorbents including Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidedan BY-3, Bacillus sp. strain DJ-1 and agricultural residues exhibited lower values of maximum uptake capacity at 277.22 and 323.85 g·g −1 , 6.14 and 9.8 g·g −1 and 138.88 and 147.05 g·g −1 for As(III) and As(V) respectively [31][32][33][34]. However, Inonotus hipidus biomass exhibited maximum uptake capacity at 51.9 and 59.6 mg·g −1 for As(III) and As(V) respectively, values close to our results [35].…”

Efficient conversion of dimethylarsinate into arsenic and its simultaneous adsorption removal over FeCx/N-doped carbon fiber composite in an electro-Fenton process

“…Some reports indicated that the pentavalent organoarsenics are genotoxic toward human lung cells, and monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) may act as a promoter of liver carcinogenesis (Yan et al, 2010). The World Health Organization (WHO) has established a guideline of 0.01 mg/L as the maximum allowable level of arsenic in drinking water (Zhang et al, 2007).…”

Effects of pyrite bioleaching solution of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans on viability, differentiation and mineralization potentials of rat osteoblasts

“…The Acidithiobacillus (A. f) (Yana et al 2010) are a group of Gram-negative, rod-shaped and highly acidophilic bacteria that derive energy from the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds. Acidithiobacillus develop various ecological niches and adapt to specific oxidation substrates, and they are characterized by different growth rates, tolerance to heavy metal ions, and activities of ferrous iron and/or sulfide mineral oxidation (Yana et al 2010;Chen et al 2011).…”

A. f can oxidize ferrous iron (Boon and Heijnen 1998;Ebrahimi et al 2003;Dumett and Keener 2014).…”
