[Removing Cr(VI) by composite biosorbent of nano FeO4/Sphaerotilus natans].

The process of biosorption and the adsorbing mechanisms of Fe3 O4/Sphaerotilus natans to Cr(VI) were studied. The experiment results showed that pH value was main influencing factors on adsorption to Cr(VI). In the range of pH 2 to 3, the adsorbance of the composite biosorbent to Cr(VI) is 0.

[Study on the disposal process for removing heavy metal ions from wastewater by composite biosorbent of nano Fe3O4/Sphaerotilus natans].

Composite biosorbent nano Fe3O4/Sphaerotilus natans was prepared when nano Fe3O4 was used as carrier, then the composite biosorbent characterized by infrared instrument and investigated on adsorbing heavy metal ions from wastewater. Infrared spectrum analysis shows that--CONH--and--OH are principal activated groups of composite biosorbent. The experiment of adsorption shows that biomass concentration and flow velocity are main influencing factors.

[Research on Pb2 + removal from wastewater by Sphaerotilus natans].

As biosorbent used Sphaerotilus natans, influencing factors on removal of Pb2+ were investigated such as ratio of the biomass and lead, pH, temperature and time of adsorption. The results show that Sphaerotilus natans has good effect on adsorption of Pb2+. The process of adsorption reached equilibrium in 10 minutes.
