This article presents an assessment of the biosorption capacity of Chlorella sorokiniana microalgae in relation to heavy metal ions (Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Cu2+) at various pH values. With the development of industry, several environmental threats have emerged, including heavy metal pollution. This form of pollution has negative effects in the short and long term on the health of animals and humans. To prevent the accumulation of harmful substances in the human body, it is advised to use oral sorbents in prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. Oral sorbents have the ability to adsorb and neutralize certain toxins in the stomach and the intestines and remove them from the human body. The present article investigated the possibility of using microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana as an oral sorbent. The sorption capacity of Chlorella sorokiniana microalgal biomass was determined by voltammetry of standard solutions with an initial concentration of heavy metal ions of 10 mg/L. The removal efficiency ranged from 88 to 99%. The studies were carried out at pH values from 2 to 6. The sorption capacity was high at all considered acidity values. Sorption properties were confirmed by the study of the IR spectrum and microscopy of the freeze-dried biomass samples. The surface of the sorption material was studied by electron microscopy depicting the presence of multiple pores and depressions. It could be assumed that the sorption properties of microalgae are partly due to physical processes. Freeze drying can significantly increase the active surface area of the sample. The presence of hydroxyl groups in the biomass was confirmed by IR-spectroscopy indicating the chemical nature of the sorption process.

Residual Biomass

This scientific research is determined to a study of sorption process of heavy metal ions removal from aqueous solution at water purification with a help of sorption materials on a basis of residual biomass of microalgae and duckweed. It is known that Chlorella sorokiniana and duckweed Lemna minor have in their composition different valuable substances such as lipids, proteins, pigments, pectic substances. After their extraction residual biomass is formed. And in present study it is proposed for using as biosorbent for water purification. At different pH values the removal of ions of heavy metals (Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Cu(II)) occurs with varied efficiency; it is an important and informative parameter. Equilibrium and initial concentration of the solution with heavy metal ions were measured by voltammetric method of analysis with a use of special equipment. Chitosan was used as a component for making composite sorption materials with residual biomass of microalgae and duckweed. It is biopolymer which widely used in water purification. Due to this, prepared granules have good sorption properties. Nowadays in the era of technology and wide industrial production it is important and actual to develop new ecological technology and useful materials for water treatment and other fields for environment protection in general.

In this paper, it is proposed to use the biomass of microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana as a biosorbent for wastewater treatment, as well as an oral sorbent. Biosorbents are capable of adsorbing both organic and inorganic compounds, including heavy metals. The sorption capacity depends on the type of aquatic plant and microalgae strain. The use of microalgae and aquatic plants as biosorbents for pollutant treatments is discussed in the introduction part. The biomass of microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana was chosen as the object of this study. The cultivation conditions (temperature, light, pH and aeration) and the optimal biomass harvesting parameters are presented. Dehydration of biomass was carried out in two ways: IR-drying and freeze-drying. The obtained samples were tested for the ability of the biomass to extract heavy metal ions (zinc, cadmium, zinc, copper) from standard solutions. The initial concentration of heavy metal ions in the working solutions was 10 mg/l. Results show that the lyophilized samples demonstrated up to 99.9% of heavy metal removal efficiency. The paper also presents the composition of Chlorella sorokiniana biomass, in which up to 40.97–41.87% are proteins. The analysis of the amino-acid composition showed a ratio of essential to non-essential amino-acids higher than 0.8. All the above results confirm the possibility of using microalgae biomass as an oral sorbent and as an additive in the production of functional foods.

Quantitative Characteristics

The sorption characteristics of aluminosilicate microspheres of fly ash from thermal power plants with respect to heavy metal ions were studied with a view to their subsequent use for integrated treatment of household and industrial wastewater. The mechanism and kinetics of the sorption of total iron ions from aqueous solutions are studied, quantitative characteristics of the sorption capacity and adsorption equilibrium constants are obtained. It has been established that aluminosilicate microspheres of fly ash possess sorption properties with respect to common iron ions. The sorption isotherm of iron ions from water by the material under study is characteristic of microporous sorbents. The quantitative characteristics of the sorption process allow us to conclude about the possibility of using aluminosilicate fly ash microspheres without any additional treatment for the purification of waste water from heavy metal ions.

In this paper, a novel carbon/bentonite composite was prepared using sucrose as carbon source and bentonite as raw material. The characterization results shown that plenty of carbon particles distribute on the surface of the composite, and an abundant of functional groups, such as SO3H, carboxylic and hydroxyl groups, were successfully introduced onto the surface of the prepared composite. The adsorption capacity of the prepared composite for typical heavy metal ions and methylene blue deys also was investigated and compared with activated carbon and bentonite, the results show that the composite shows excellent adsorprion performance for heavy metal ions, and the adsorption capacity for Cu2+and Ni2+ increase by 136% and 591% than natural bentonite, respectSuperscript textively. The prepared composite with excellent adsorption performance could be used as a low-cost alternative to activated carbon for the treatment of heavy metal ions polluted wastewater.

The main objective of the present work is to elaborate on a new eco-friendly and efficient adsorbent designated for aquatic micropollutants removal. However, the synthesis of the Ethylenediamine Crosslinked 2D-Cellulose green adsorbent was carried out successfully, by partial grafting of benzyl entities onto hydroxyl groups of HEC, and crosslinking with ethylenediamine ED. Further, the new ethylenediamine crosslinked 2D-Cellulose was used as a biosorbent for nanoencapsulation removal of copper and lead heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. The proposal chemical structures of unmodified and modified materials were confirmed using FTIR, XRD, TGA, and SEM–EDX analysis. Furthermore, many parameters of the optimization for Pb (II) and Cu (II) in terms of removal efficiency including pH, adsorbent amount, and contact time were optimized by response surface methodology with a Box–Behnken design. Based on the desirability optimization with three factors, the maximal removal was 99.52% and 97.5% for Pb(II) and Cu(II), respectively and was obtained at pH = 5.94, 22.2 mg as the optimal adsorbent amount, and 21.53 min as contact time.
