“…For heavy metal sorption, it was found that the increase in pH increases uptake capacity of heavy metals such as Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu, and Zn in both the acidic and the neutral range (pH 2–7). The rate of increase under highly acidic conditions (pH 2–4) was mostly higher than that observed at milder acidic conditions (pH 4–6) [6, 72, 84, 100–102, 104, 108, 125, 129, 130]. Under basic conditions (pH > 7), heavy metal uptake decreased with pH [100, 101, 108].…”

There is a growing need for the use of low-cost and ecofriendly adsorbents in water/wastewater treatment applications. Conventional adsorbents as well as biosorbents from different natural and agricultural sources have been extensively studied and reviewed. However, there is a lack of reviews on biosorption utilizing industrial wastes, particularly those of food processing and pharmaceuticals. The current review evaluates the potential of these wastes as biosorbents for the removal of some hazardous contaminants. Sources and applications of these biosorbents are presented, while factors affecting biosorption are discussed. Equilibrium, kinetics, and mechanisms of biosorption are also reviewed. In spite of the wide spread application of these biosorbents in the treatment of heavy metals and dyes, more research is required on other classes of pollutants. In addition, further work should be dedicated to studying scaling up of the process and its economic feasibility. More attention should also be given to enhancing mechanical strength, stability, life time, and reproducibility of the biosorbent. Environmental concerns regarding disposal of consumed biosorbents should be addressed by offering feasible biosorbent regeneration or pollutant immobilization options.

“…Despite serious environmental concerns due to their toxicity even at low concentrations [1][2][3][4][5] , various industrial processes, such as electroplating, metal fi nishing, metallurgical work, tanning, chemical manufacturing, mining and battery manufacturing, result in the continuous introduction of heavy metal polluted wastewater to the environment (mainly Pb, Hg, Cu, Cd, Zn, Ni and Cr).…”

The biosorption of Pb(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) from industrial wastewater using Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Bacillus subtilis was investigated under various experimental conditions regarding pH, metal concentration and contact time. The optimum pH values for the biosorption of the three metals were in the range 5.0-6.0, while the optimal contact time for the two bacterial species was 30 min. Experimental data was analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms; the former had a better fi t for the biosorption of Pb(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II). The maximum adsorption uptakes (q max ) of the three metals calculated from the Langmuir biosorption equation for S. maltophilia were 133.3, 47.8 and 54.3 for Pb(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II), respectively, and for B. subtilis were 166.7, 49.7 and 57.8 mg/g, respectively. B. subtilis biomass was more favorable for the biosorption of Pb (II) and Ni (II), while S. maltophilia was more useful for the biosorption of Zn (II).

“…As previously reported (Weng et al 2014), heavy metal stabilization in sludge during drying process might occur through the transformations of the acid-soluble, the reducible, and the oxidizable species into the structurally stable forms. In addition, the biosorbant properties of sludge (Smith et al 2009;Sassi et al 2010) was likely enhanced by the application of HT. The similar phenomena was reported by Jin et al (2010) that implement the heavy metals removal from wastewater and heavy metal stabilization in fly ash by a single hydrothermal treatment process with the addition of sodium carbonate.…”

High moisture content along with poor dewaterability are the main challenges for sewage sludge treatment and utilization. In this study, the effect of hydrothermal treatment at various temperature (120-200 ˚C) on the properties of sewage sludge derived solid fuel was investigated in the terms of mechanical dewatering character, drying character, calorific value and heavy metal distribution. Hydrothermal treatment (HT) followed by dewatering process significantly reduced moisture content and improved calorific value of sewage sludge with the optimum condition obtained at 140˚C. No significant alteration of drying characteristic was produced by HT. Heavy metal enrichment in solid particle was found after HT that highlighted the importance of further study regarding heavy metal behavior during combustion. However, it also implied the potential application of HT on sewage sludge for heavy metal removal from wastewater.
