Ni(II) biosorption by Polyporous versicolor

2002-02-02
The use of the white-rot fungus Polyporous versicolor in Ni(II) removal as biosorbent was investigated. Kinetic and isotherm sorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of pH, time, temperature. and mixing intensity. Time-course variation of Ni(II) uptake at various temperatures (20, 25, and 35 degreesC) and initial Ni(II) concentrations revealed that both the initial Ni(II) uptake rate and the Ni(II) sorption capacity increased with increasing temperature. Ni(II) biosorption isotherms determined based on the Freundlich and Langmuir models adequately described the biosorption of Ni(II). As temperature increases, the Ni(II) adsorptive capacity of P. versicolor showed an increase that was much more pronounced when the temperature was increased from 20 to 25 degreesC. An increase in the initial concentration caused the metal uptake to increase more at 25 and 35 degreesC than at 20 degreesC. The temperature 35 degreesC appeared to be optimal and a maximum adsorption capacity of 57 mg/g was attained. ( C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The removal of Pb(II) by Phanerochaete chrysosporium
Yetiş, Ülkü; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Özcengiz, Gülay (2000-11-01)
The removal of Pb(II) by live, resting and dead cells of a lignolytic white-rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium was investigated. Kinetic studies revealed the fact that adsorption is a two-stage process: a very rapid surface adsorption within the first hour and a slow intracellular diffusion during 2 h of metal exposure. The results showed that the resting cells were able to uptake up to 80 mg Pb(II)/g dry cell. The saturation sorption capacities of live and dead cells were 9 and 20 mg Pb(II)/g dry cell...
Heavy metal biosorption by white-rot fungi
Yetiş, Ülkü; Özcengiz, Gülay; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (1998-06-26)
In this study, heavy metal biosorption potentials of two white-rot fungi, Polyporous versicolor and Phanarochaete chrysosporium, which are commonly used in wastewater treatment were determined. Biosorption studies were performed for Cu(II), Cr(III), Cd(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II) at the same operational conditions and the effectiveness of both fungi at removing these heavy metals was compared. It was found that both P. versicolor and P. chrysosporium were the most effective in removing Pb(II) from aqeous solutio...
Effect of extracellular polymer composition of activated sludge on the removal of heavy metals by biosorption
Yüncü, Bilgen; Yetiş, Ülkü; Sanin, F. Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2003)
Activated sludge microorganisms can remove many hazardous substances from wastewater by adsorbing and concentrating them on their surfaces. Biosorption of these substances onto activated sludge surfaces are influenced by the chemical properties of the substance in question as well as the surface properties of the microorganisms. The purpose of this study is to identify the biosorption mechanisms of heavy metals and the effect of extracellular polymer (ECP) composition of activated sludge on the biosorption ...
Production of tannese by Aspergillus niger
Öztürk, Alev Deniz; Bakır, Ufuk; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006)
In this study, a filamentous fungus, Aspergillus niger was evaluated in terms of extracellular tannase production. The effect of tannic acid, glucose and nitrogen sources on tannase and biomass productions was investigated and their concentrations were optimized. The highest enzyme activity was recorded as 316 U/ml in the optimized medium containing 8% Tannic acid, 1% Glucose, 0.4% (NH4)2HPO4, 0.1% K2HPO4, 0.1% MgSO4.7H2O, 0.01% ZnSO4.7H2O, 0.0005% NaCl in a shake-flask bioreactor at 35oC and 175 rpm. The b...
Biogas Production from Waste Microalgal Biomass Obtained from Nutrient Removal of Domestic Wastewater
Calicioglu, Ozgul; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (2016-12-01)
In this study, a semi-continuous photobioreactor was operated for the investigation of nutrient removal efficiency of a unialgal culture, Chlorella vulgarAs. Maximum nitrogen and phosphorous removal efficiencies of 99.6 and 91.2 % were achieved in the photobioreactor. The microalgal slurry obtained from the effluent of the photobioreactor was subjected to biochemical methane potential assay, after application of heat, autoclave, and thermochemical pretreatments to improve anaerobic digestibility and biogas ...
