Experimental and Isothermal Studies on Sorption of Congo Red by Modified Mycelial Biomass of Wood‐rotting Fungus

Abstract: Experimental and Isothermal Studies on Sorption of Congo Red by Modified Mycelial Biomass of Woodrotting FungusBatch biosorption experiments were carried out for the removal of Congo red from aqueous solution using native and pretreated mycelial pellets/biomass of Trametes versicolor. The effect of process parameters such as contact time, dye concentration, and pH on the extent of Congo red biosorption has been investigated. Higher dye concentrations resulted in lower biosorption. Increases in biomass dosage l… Show more

“…This indicates the possible involvement of chemisorption mechanism in PR adsorption. Similar results have been observed by Binupriya et al [30]. Desorption was also studied under four different media such as water, NaOH, ethanol and acetone.…”

“…Cations such as Na and K from the carbon may attract the anionic PR molecules by electrostatic attraction. Many adsorbents such as fungal biomass [25], bacterial biomass [2], chitosan [26] and activated carbon [26] have been reported to uptake anionic dyes. The chloride (Cl -) ion on the benzene ring, which increases the acidic character is responsible for the formation of an anion on the oxygen atom of the -OH group and also has a strong affinity for carbon surfaces.…”

“…After a 3-d incubation, the biosorption percentages by live P. chrysosporium were 19.71% and 52.21% for Phen and Pyr, respectively, which are significantly lower than that of dead fungal biomass. This is mainly attributed to the change in P. chrysosporium cell permeability under the high-pressure inactivation treatment [34]. With the increase of the incubation time (340 d), biodegradation percentages gradually increased from 20.40% to 60.62% for Phen and from 15.55% to 49.21% for Pyr, and the stored-PAHs in the fungal bodies gradually decreased by 5.89% for Phen and by 15.18% for Pyr at 40-d, which suggested that PAHs both in solution and fungal body can be biodegraded.…”
