Cadmium removal by Anabaena sp. ATCC 33047 immobilized in polyurethane foam

Abstract: The nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. ATCC 33047, which generates substantial amounts of exopolysaccharide, was immobilized by entrapment within the reticulate network of polyurethane foam discs. The immobilized Anabaena sp. system has been investigated as a potential biosorbent for the removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions. The results showed that it was a highly fast process, with 80 % of the adsorption taking place in the first 10 min, reaching full equilibrium in about 50 min. Data analysis i… Show more

“…Increased synthesis of some pigments can be related to manifestation of mechanisms of adaptation to lead among cyanobacteria (El-Sheekh et al, 2005;Kiran et al, 2008). Some of them can be manifested in transformation of heavy metal ions into less toxic particles due to phycobilin pigments (Bekasova et al, 2002;Andrade et al, 2004;Clares et al, 2015).…”
