Activated carbon preparation from biomass feedstock: Clean production and carbon dioxide adsorption

Biosorption of zinc ions by inactivated fungal mycelia was studied. Of the six fungal species, Rhizopus arrhizus, Mucor racemosus, Mycotypha africana, Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus niger and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, R. arrhizus exhibited the highest capacity (Q
max = 213 μmol g−1 dry weight). Further experiments with different cellular fractions of R. arrhizus showed that Zn was predominantly bound to cell-wall chitin and chitosan (Q
max = 312 μmol g−1 dry weight). Adsorption data were best modelled by the Langmuir isotherm, although they can be modelled by the Freundlich equation as well at relatively low aqueous concentrations. Biosorption generally decreased with increase in biosorbent particle size and its concentration. Low pH reduced Zn sorption, because of the strong competition from hydrogen ions for binding sites on fungi. The presence of ligands reduced metal uptake, chiefly by forming metal complexes of a less biosorbable nature.
