Biosorption Mechanism of Aqueous Pb2+, Cd2+, and Ni2+ Ions on Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS)

Abstract: Heavy metal pollution has been a focus with increasing attention, especially Pb2+, Cd2+, and Ni2+ in an aqueous environment. The adsorption capacity and mechanism of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from Agrobacterium tumefaciens F2 for three heavy metals were investigated in this study. The adsorption efficiency of 94.67%, 94.41%, and 77.95% were achieved for Pb2+, Cd2+, and Ni2+ adsorption on EPS, respectively. The experimental data of adsorption could be well fitted by Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin–… Show more

“…The presence of heavy metals in the environment is a serious problem to be addressed in the world today due to their high toxicity, mobility in the environment and non-biodegradability [ 1 , 2 ]. Heavy metals which originates from the mining, electroplating, refinery and other industrial wastewater can cause potential damage to the ecosystem, human and animal health even at low concentration [ [3] , [4] , [5] ].…”

“…Lead which exist in several oxidation states (0, +1, +2 and +4), is known for its toxicity and environmental impact. It can be accumulated and adsorbed by the body through inhalation, ingestion, skin contact and transfer through the placenta [ 1 , 3 ]. Long-term exposure of lead to children, not only impacts their biological systems, but also has long-term effects, such as damage to central nervous system and chronic respiratory diseases [ [8] , [9] , [10] ].…”

“…In addition to functional groups, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) comprising protein and carbohydrate assist the bacterial species in metal resistance and absorption (Shameer, 2016). Besides, the divalent metal cations such as Pb (II) and Cd (II) tend EPS because of their small radius, which eventually decreased in the environment (Cui et al, 2020). In this regard, evaluated Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 for Cd (II) and Pb (II) removal and elucidated their higher and prompt accumulation potential, which was consistent with the results of the current study.…”

“…There are numerous chemical groups (e.g. hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amino) in MFX, which allow MFX to have good combining capacity with pollutants and have good flocculation efficiency [ 12 15 ]. In addition to the removal of turbidity of wastewater, it has been proved that MFX can treat wastewaters that contain heavy metals [ 16 18 ] and antibiotics [ 19 21 ].…”
