After shaking and biosorbing Cu^2+ and Pb^2+ in solution by biosorbents, the filtrates were tested by AAS and the adsorbed quantity of Cu^2+ and Pb^2+ was calculated. The biosorbents were effective in removal of Cu^2+ and Pb^2+ on the biosorbents that showed a high- est value around pH 5-6. The biosorption rate of Cu^2+ and Pb^2+ on A. polytricha biomass decreased with increasing the initial concentration of Cu^2+ and Pb^2+ in the medium. The biosorption of Cu^2+ and Pb^2+ on the biomasses follows pseudo-second order kinetics. The determined maximum biosorption capacities presented by the fungus biomass were 3.34 and 13.03 mg·g^-1 dry weight for Cu^2+ and Pb^2+, respectively by the biosorption equilibrium with Langmuir adsorption isotherm. According to the whole data analysis in each experiment of studying Cu^2+ and Pb^2+ biosorption including condition factors and adsorption isotherm, the adsorbed capacity of Pb^2+ by A. polytricha biomass was bigger than Cu^2+. The biosorption by A. polytricha was most effective when pH 5-6. The biosorbents are suitable for low Cu^2+ and Pb^2+ concentration waste-water, especially for Pb^2+ removal.展开更多
