Although biosorption for reclaiming single precious metal was frequently reported, the actual subsistent adsorptive competition among different metal ions sometimes shows diverging reinforcement or prohibition for different species. This study tries to screen bacteria that are able to absorb certain precious metals with high selectivity under competitive conditions. The activated sludge was cultivated from enrichment by magnetotactic bacteria medium proposed by Blakemore. Then four microbes, microaerobic bacteria(A) acclimated micro-aerobic bacteria (B), anaerobic bacteria(C) and acclimated anaerobic bacteria(D) were obtained for the following adsorption experiments. The four microbes have high removal efficiency of Au3+ both in its unitary and Au3+-Cu2+binary system. The microaerobic bacteria (B) are good metal catchers and carriers for the uptake of gold in aquatic solution with coexistence of copper. In Pd2+-Cu2+system, there is a collaborative adsorption effect, especially on (B).

In this work, three kinds of hyperbranched polyamidoamine-palygorskite (PAMAM-Pal) were designed and synthesized by grafting the first generation polyamidoamine (G1.0 PAMAM), G2.0 PAMAM and G3.0 PAMAM onto Pal surfaces, respectively. Then, these PAMAM-Pals were used as additives to prepare polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/hyperbranched polyamidoamine-palygorskite bicomponent composite membranes. The structures of the composite membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo gravimetric analysis (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field-emission scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption properties of composite membranes to heavy metal ions was studied, and the results found that the maximum adsorption capacities for Cu(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) could reach 155.19 mg/g, 124.28 mg/g and 125.55 mg/g, respectively, for the PVDF/G3.0 PAMAM-Pal membrane, while only 23.70 mg/g, 17.74 mg/g and 14.87 mg/g could be obtained for unmodified membranes in the same conditions. The high adsorption capacity can be ascribed to the large number of amine-terminated groups, amide groups and carbonyl groups of the composite membrane. The above results indicated that the prepared composite membrane has a high adsorption capacity for heavy metal ions removal in water treatment.

After Sepharose 4B polymer beads were activated by using epichlorohydrin, glycine was binded with them to prepare an immobilized carboxyl group ion exchange adsorbent. The coupling rate was that 18.3 mg Gly could be fixed by 1 g of wet Sepharose 4B beads. At pH 9, this adsorbent showed power adsorption to metal ions with Ca2+16.49 mg,Mg2+6.92 mg,Fe2+11.06 mg,Fe3+4.98 mg and Mn2+11.84 mg were respectively adsorbed by 20 g of wet Sepharose 4B beads during saturated adsorption. Moreover, this absorbent possessed the properties with good stability, regeneration easily and low cost.

Steamed Hoof Powder (SHP), size < 53μ, was observed to have high adsorption capacity for Hg(II) with >95% removal from a solution containing 100 mg/L of Hg(II) with only 0.1% (W/V) concentration of SHP. The SHP has good settling properties and gives clear and odour free effluent. Studies indicate that pH values between 2 and 10 have no effect on the adsorption of Hg(II) on SHP. Light metal ions like Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ up to concentrations of 500 mg/L and heavy metals like Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Pb2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Cr3+, Cr6+, Fe2+ and Fe3+ up to concentrations of 100 mg/L do not interfere with the adsorption process. Anions like sulphate, acetate and phosphate up to concentrations of 200 mg/L do not interfere. Chloride interferes in the adsorption process when Hg(II) concentration is above 9.7 mg/L. The adsorption equilibrium was established within two hours. Studies indicate that adsorption occurs on the surface sites of the adsorbent.
