Cu(II) removal from aqueous solution by ureolytic mixed culture (UMC)

Biomineralization Mediated by Ureolytic Bacteria Applied to Water Treatment: A Review

“…For chromium, a study by Altaş et al [72] determined the potential as sorbent for Cr 6+ from an aqueous solution and regarding to Cu 2+ , Simsek et al [73] confirmed the ability of UMC for its adsorption by ureolytic bacteria. This last study was carried out under batch conditions, removing 99% Cu 2+ from an initial solution with 100 mg/L of this metal.…”

Optimization of Copper Removal by Photovoltaic Electrocoagulation from Aqueous Solution Using Response Surface Methodology Towards Sustainable Development

“…Copper is a fundamental element demanded health and wellbeing in humans as it is included in a difference of proteins and metalloenzymes, which accomplish crucial metabolic functions for tissue and bone development. However, the excessive Cu 2+ utilisation has an impact on the liver, and subsequent vomiting causes headache, nausea, respiratory problems, abdominal pain and, lastly, gastrointestinal bleeding [Simsek et al, 2013; El-Ashtoukhy and Abdel-Aziz, 2013; Parlak and Arar, 2018]. Degradation of copper ions from water can be achieved by using the chemical or physicochemical methods [Gunatilake, 2015] such as adsorption [Hossain, 2012;Balintova et al, 2012;Demcak et al, 2017] ion-exchange [Edebali and Pehlivan, 2016], photocatalysis [Kanakaraju et al, 2017], or electrochemical processes [Kamaraj et al, 2013;Dermentzis et al, 2011].…”

Performance of high density ion exchange resin (INDION225H) for removal of Cu(II) from waste water

“…Different cheap and readily available agro-wastes were explored for using as bio-adsorbents for copper removal such as rice straw, chemically modified seaweed, Cystoseira indica, banana peels, ureolytic mixed culture, tea waste, sugarcane bagasse, rice husk, sawdust, coconut husk, oil palm shell, and neem bark [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Also other adsorbents reported are oxidized nano carbon black, chitosan and carrageenan, lignite, kaolinite and ballclay, diatomite, limestone, brick kiln ash, river sand, and egg shells [11][12][13][14][15].…”
