The marine macroalga Cystoseira baccata as biosorbent for cadmium(II) and lead(II) removal: Kinetic and equilibrium studies

Abstract: This work reports kinetic and equilibrium studies of cadmium(II) and lead(II) adsorption by the brown seaweed Cystoseira baccata. Kinetic experiments demonstrated rapid metal uptake. Kinetic data were satisfactorily described by a pseudo-second order chemical sorption process. Temperature change from 15 to 45 degrees C showed small variation on kinetic parameters. Langmuir-Freundlich equation was selected to describe the metal isotherms and the proton binding in acid-base titrations. The maximum metal uptake v… Show more

“…Therefore, chelation was another important mechanism involved in the biosorption of Cd and Pb with Deinococcus; as reported by Sheng et al [12] for Sargassum with FTIR spectroscopy studies. These changes in the FTIR spectra have also been observed in other biosorption studies [13,14]. Also the peak at 1387 attributed to C-O bond shifted to 1392 and 1390 Cm -1 when exposed to Cd and Pb respectively.…”

“…have been identified as potential adsorption sites to be responsible for binding metallic ions to fungi. Their potential for metal uptake depends on factors such as the abundance of sites, their accessibility, chemical state and affinity between adsorption site and metal (Lodeiro, 2006).…”

“…The competition between metal ions and hydrogen ions for the active sites on the biosorbent surface is directly related to the acidity of the solution (Lodeiro et al, 2006). Metal binding onto biomass during biosorption involves complex mechanisms, such as ion exchange, chelation, adsorption by physical forces, and ion entrapment in inter-and intrafibrillar capillaries and spaces of the cell structural network of a biosorbent (Chojnacka et al, 2005;Sari and Tuzen, 2009).…”
