Özet

The bacterial strain Bacillus sp. ATS-2 isolated from Pb(II) polluted soil was immobilized with a silica matrix and Pb(II) biosorption properties of immobilized biosorbent were examined. Optimum biosorption conditions were investigated in the fixed bed column with the variation in the parameters of pH, bed lenght, flow rate and influent concentration. The Pb(II) biosorption equilibrium was attained within 60 min and the maximum biosorption yield for silica gel immobilized Bacillus sp. ATS-2 was determined as 91.73% at pH 4.0. The higher biosorption yields were observed at flow rates of 60 and 180 ml h-1. The optimum bed length for the column was found as 10 cm. Data obtained from batch studies were evaluated by Freundlich, Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm models. The maximum monolayer capacity of Bacillus sp. ATS-2 for Pb(II) was 2.36 × 10-5 mol g-1. The involvement of the functional groups on the surface of immobilized cells in biosorption process was also evaluated by FTIR spectral analysis. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
