摘要
Objective To investigate the characteristics of Zn^2＋ biosorption and the release of cations during the process of Zn^2＋ biosorption by intact cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Methods The batch adsorption test was used to study the biosorption equilibrium and isotherm. Zn^2＋ concentration was measured with atomic adsorption spectrophotometer （AAS） AAS 6.Vario. Results When the initial concentration of Zn^2＋ ranged between 0.08 and 0.8 retool/L, the initial pH was natural （about 5.65）, the sorbent concentration was about 1 g/L and the capacity ofZn〉 biosorption was from 74.8 to 654.8 μmol/g. The pH value increased by 0.55-1.28 and the intracellular cations （K^＋, Mg^2＋, Na^＋, Ca〉） of the cells were re/eased during the process of Zn〉 biosorption. Conclusion Ion exchange was one of the mechanisms for Zn^2＋ biosorption. The biomass of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a potential biosorbent for the removal of Zn^2＋ from aqueous solution. More work needs to be done before putting it into practical application.
