Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiosorption of Textile Dye Using Immobilized Bacterial (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Fungal (Phanerochate chrysosporium) CellsNatarajan Saravanan, Tiruvenkadam Kannadasan, Chiya Ahmed Basha, Veerasamy ManivasaganWastewater containing dyes presents a serious problem due to its high toxicity which leads to creating enormous environmental pollution and ecological hazards. Therefore the removal of the high stable dyes from the textile effluents is of major importance. The purpose of this study is to remove the reactive dye Procion Blue 2G from textile dye solution by biosorption process using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 16 Sep 2013 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractValuation of Biomaterial: Phragmites australis in the Retention of Metal-Complexed DyesAida Kesraoui, Asma Mabrouk, Mongi SeffenThe purpose of this research was to estimate the potential of cellulosic fibers of highly available and renewable Tunisian biomass Phragmites australis for the biosorption of an anionic metal complexed dye: Alpacide blue. The present study shows that the Phragmite australis were used successfully for the adsorption of Alpcide blue from aqueous solution. Equilibrium was reached after 5 h at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 5 Jun 2017 · 7,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF BIOMASS, INDIAN JUJUBA SEED (IJS) FOR REMOVAL OF CONGO REDL. Sivaramakrishna, M. Sivasankar Reddy, M. Jagadeesh et al.The present investigation deals with the removal of Congo Red (CR) from aqueous solution by using Indian Jujuba Seed (IJS) as low-cost biosorbent. The effect of pH and size experimental parameters has been investigated using a Batch adsorption technique. Adsorption data were modeled using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Adsorption kinetics was verified by pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and intraparticle … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 30 Jun 2014 · 7,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Different Exogeneous Compounds on Biosorption of EndosulfanDeepika Dave, A. K. DikshitProblem statement: Organochlorine pesticide endosulfan is widely used as a replacement for DDT and dieldrin in many parts of the world. Presence of residual pesticides in the water, air and soil environment was confirmed since 1960s. Such Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are of concern because of their long-term subtle effects on hormones, the immune system and reproduction. Therefore, it becomes … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristic Study of the Marine Algae Sargassum sp. on Metal AdsorptionA. Saravanan, V. Brindha, Soundarajan KrishnanProblem statement: Biomass of brown marine macro algae is a biological resource that is available in large quantities and can form a good base for the development of biosorbent material. Approach: Algae have been found to be potentially suitable biosorbents because of its cheap availability, both in fresh or salt water, relatively high surface area and high binding affinity. Results: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,660 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecovery of Lead(II) from Aqueous Solutions by Zea mays Tassel BiosorptionCaliphs M. Zvinowanda, Jonathan O. Okonkwo, Nana M. Agyei et al.Problem statement: Major adsorbent materials used in heavy metal ion removal from polluted aqueous streams are expensive and difficult to regenerate. In this study, the possibility of using Zea mays tassel, as an alternative low cost biosorbent material to remediate heavy metal pollution was investigated. Lead (II) was used because of its wide application in industrial products and well documented … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,465 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUptake and Recovery of Lead by Agarose Gel PolymersAnurag Pandey, Anupam Shukla, Lalitagauri RayProblem statement: The uptake and recovery of lead ions were investigated by using agarose gel polymers. Approach: The experimental results showed that the agarose gel were effective in removing Pb (II) from solution. Biosorption equilibrium was approached within 4 h. Pseudo second-order was applicable to all the sorption data over the entire time range. Results: The sorption data conformed well … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Adsorption of the Lead (II) by the Nonliving Biomass Spirogyra neglecta (Hasall) KutzingModher A. Hussain, Aishah Salleh, Pozi MilowProblem statement: Conventional techniques for removing dissolved heavy metals are only practical and cost-effective when applied to high strength wastes with heavy metal ion concentrations greater than 100 ppm. The possibility of using a nonliving algal biomass to solve this problem was carried in this study. Lead (II) was used in this study because it had been reported to cause … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial Effect of Untreated and Treated (Decolorized) Dyes by Agricultural WastesSibel Kahraman, Pelin YalcinToxicity (antibacterial effect) of untreated and treated (decolorized) dyes on a soil bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was determined. Low cost and easily available two agricultural residues (cotton stalk and apricot seed) as biosorbents were used to remove Astrazone Black and Astrazone Yellow from aqueous solution. The removal of these dyes with agricultural wastes reduced the toxic effect on P. aeruginosa. This … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,260 accessesView PDFCite
