Abstract


Abstract: The aim of this research was the kinetic equilibrium and thermodynamic studies of hexavalent chromium removal from aqueous solution by Pleurotus mutilus biomass, in torus reactor. Experiments were carried out in laboratory scale. The effect of sorbent amount, pH and initial concentration of hexavalent chromium on biomass removal capacity were determined after 3 hours of treatment. The optimum conditions were found to be a chromium initial concentration of 100 mg/L, pH 5.4 and biosorbent dose 2 g/L; in these conditions the biosorption capacity reaches 29.46 mg/g. The modeling study showed that the pseudo-first-order model fitted well the adsorption kinetics. The kinetics of diffusion has been analysed, it confirms that the external mass transfer controls the biosorption process. The adsorption equilibrium data could be described by Langmuir, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms models.  Desorption can recover biomass and concentrated metal in a reduced volume. The recovered metal can be reused or treated by physical or chemical methods. The thermodynamic study indicates that biosorption was endothermic and spontaneous in nature. This biomass was destined to incineration, valorized as a potential biosorbent for heavy metals with no treatment indeed. The torus reactor has demonstrated interesting results for its first application in biosorption process.
