The use of waste biomaterial for the adsorption of heavy metal ions is an economically appealing alternative to conventional metal ion removal methods. In the present work, S. cerevisiae biomass has been shown to be capable of the simultaneous remova

The mass transfer rate of oxygen often limits the cell growth of aerobic bacteria and its product formation. Baffles and agitation increase mixing and oxygen transfer. The effects of agitation rates on the cell growth and oxygen uptake rate (OUR) of

Waste leaves from Acer saccharum (maple tree) were used for continuous removal of Cu (II) ions from aqueous solutions in a packed-bed column. Inlet metal concentrations of 15–110 mg/l and flowrates 5–30 ml/min were investigated in continuous colu

The adsorption behaviour of unmodified yeast cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to remove Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions in continuous mode was studied. Yeast biomass showed mediocre capacity for Cu(II) ions compared to that of Pb(II) i
