Comparative studies on Pb(II) biosorption with three spongy microbe-based biosorbents: High performance, selectivity and application.
Journal of Hazardous Materials 2019 March 16
Lead pollution in industrial-derived water has become an increasingly serious concern. The development of adsorbents with excellent efficiency, selectivity and separability using diverse microorganisms is ideal for treating lead pollution. In this study, gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas putida I3, gram-positive bacteria Microbacterium sp. OLJ1 and mycelial fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae Pb served as raw materials to facilely synthesize sponge-like biosorbents via a one-step method at room temperature. SEM, EDS, FTIR, 13 C NMR, XRD and XPS were used for investigating the morphology and surface properties of these three biosorbents. The obtained biosorbents possessed the same three-dimensional porous structure but different productivities and mechanical strengths due to the similar chemical compositions and different cell structures of their microorganisms. Pb(II) adsorption on X-PI3, X-OLJ1 and X-TPb was fast and pH dependent, with maximal adsorption capacities of 345.02, 237.02 and 199.02 mg/g, respectively. The biosorbents had a high selectivity for Pb(II), while Pb(II) remarkably suppressed the adsorption of co-existing heavy metal ions. The analyses indicated that Pb(II) removal was mainly achieved by ion exchange reactions, surface complexation with heteroatom-containing functional groups and microprecipitation. The treatment effects of synthetic and real wastewater revealed that the as-prepared biosorbents are promising for Pb(II) removal.
