Abstract:The performance of biofiltration of zinc utilising pretreated Streptomyces rimosus was studied. Streptomyces rimosus biomass is able to bind zinc ions in batch mode. The biomass granules may be regenerated easily by using a biomass pretreatment which confers rigidity to biosolids, without decreasing the zinc uptake capacity, thus allowing collection of the biomass by filtration. Accordingly, biomass was pretreated with an anionic enzymatic tension active product (Extran AP41) and regeneration with a cleaning p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
