Biosorption of Heavy Metals from Aqueous Solutions St.Mihova, T.Godjevargova University ”Prof. Dr. A.

In recent years it has been solved by using microorganisms as means to extract heavy metal ions. In this connection, the kinetics of growth and sorption of Cu2+ by four types of cells was studied: Aspergillus niger, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Saccharomycopsis lypolytica and Saccharomyces cerevisae. Better sorption properties were observed to have the yeast S.cerevisiae and the fungi Ph.chrysosporium. The effect of Cu2+ concentration on sorption and growth of these strains were studied in details. It was found that the biomass accumulated decreased with the increase of Cu2+ concentration. Cuprous ions with concentration of 50 mg/l exert a weak inhibiting effect and with concentrations higher than 250 mg/l the period of cells adaptation was longer? and their growth - slower. The sorption of Cu2+ by the two strains studied was proved to be a fast process. Up to 75% of the Cu2+ content were absorbed during the first 6 hours. The adsorption capacities of the two sorbents were calculated. Higher adsorption capacity was found to possess S.cerevisiae (3.5 mg/g) than Ph.chrysosporium (2.5 mg/g). The sorption rate of the fungi was higher. The rate constants were compared using the Lagergren plot drawn for both types of cells studied. Higher values of k showed S.cerevisiae. The effect of the type of metal on the sorption process was studied and the following order of sorption was observed for both types of cells: Pb2+Cu2+Ni2+. The results obtained exhibit the potential of S.cerevisiae and Ph.chrysosporium to be used for decontamination of waste waters containing heavy metal ions.
