Bacterial surface changes of Ochrobactrum anthropi during Cr biosorption was investigated in this study. We found that Cr adsorption capacity increased with the increase of initial Cr（Ⅵ） concentration. Atomic force microscope （AFM） morphologic analysis combined with surface roughness analysis indicated that the bacterial surfaces became rougher during Cr uptake process. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） showed that Cr（Ⅲ） was adsorbed on the bacterial surfaces. Fourier transform infrared （FT-IR） analysis showed that surface functional groups including C-O and C-N might be involved in the Cr biosorption process.展开更多
A novel spherical cellulose adsorbent has been prepared by homogeneous graft polymerization of N,N＇-methylenebisacrylamide （MBA） onto cellulose in an ionic liquid, 1-N-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride （BMIMC1）,...A novel spherical cellulose adsorbent has been prepared by homogeneous graft polymerization of N,N＇-methylenebisacrylamide （MBA） onto cellulose in an ionic liquid, 1-N-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride （BMIMC1）, which was then partially amine methylated through Mannich reaction to get bifunctionalized materials containing both amide and sulphinate moities. Factors affecting the attachment of functional groups were investigated. The adsorbent was characterized by Elemental Analysis （EA）, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy （FTIR） and Scanning Electron Microscope （SEM）. Cellulose adsorbent was then tested for its potential applications in the reduction adsorption oftrichloroacetic acid （TCAA） from aqueous solutions.展开更多

It is necessary to recover silver from waste water using an efficient and environmental friendly method due to its environmental and economic benefits. In this paper, we eliminated the interference of Cl-and light conditions, and then studied the characterization and biosorption performance of silver by Bacillus licheniformis. The max biosorption amount was 87.4 mg/g(dry weight) with the initial Ag+concentration of 100 mg/L at pH 6.0. XRD pattern showed that the product was an amorphous compound. SEM/EDS-mapping and FT-IR results implied that phosphate, amino and carboxyl groups located on the cell walls involved in the biosorption of Ag^+. The XPS spectra result showed that the value of EB of Ag 3d_(5/2_(367.51 eV) corresponded to the energy values for Ag(Ⅰ), and indicated Ag^+ adsorbed to the surface of cell still maintained mono-valence. The results confirm that B. licheniformis just adsorb Ag+ but cannot covert soluble Ag^+ to silver nano-particles(AgNP).展开更多

This bacterium was capable of resisting high hexavalent chromium concentration and reducing Cr（VI） under aerobic condition. CrO4^2- stimulated the increase of bacterial size and production of compact convex paths containing chromium on the bacterial surface. The increase of bacterial size was caused by integrative growth but not extracellular polymeric substance hyperplasia. IR and SDS-PAGE analyses showed the extracellular polymeric substance （EPS） components were mainly proteins and had no obvious changes whether the strains were induced by Cr（VI） or not. The EPS was amorphous and contained trivalent chromium. Under CrO4^2- growth condition, the extracellular substance of Enterobacter cloacae CYS-25 strains and Cr（VI） had redox reaction. The products were Cr^3＊-protein complexes which formed a piece of compact convex paths on the surface of bacteria and prevented Cr（VI） from entering into cells.展开更多
