Simultaneous removal of Pb(II) and chemical oxygen demand from aqueous solution using immobilized microorganisms on polyurethane foam carrier
We studied the simultaneous removal of Pb(II) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from synthetic solutions using immobilized microorganism. The immobilized microorganisms on polyurethane foam (IPUF) were successfully prepared by cultivating the microbe B350 in a mixture of culture medium and polyurethane foam (PUF). The adsorption of Pb(II) ion from aqueous solutions onto PUF and IPUF was studied by batch adsorption. IPUF exhibited high Pb(II) removal efficiency. When 0.12 g of IPUF was used to treat 50mL of 20mg/L P(II) solution at pH 7.0 and 25 ℃ for 120 mins, the removal ratio was 80%. The biosorption kinetics could be described by the pseudo-secondorder model, and the adsorption isotherms could be described by Langmuir and Freundlich equations. In addition, for synthetic wastewater containing Pb(II) and C6H12O6, the removal ratios of Pb(II) and COD after being treated by IPUF for 8 hours were 92.0% and 84.2%, respectively. The removal ratio of COD clearly decreased with the increase of Pb(II) concentration, meaning that Pb(II) was toxic to the mobilized microorganisms and lower Pb(II) concentration was preferred.
