Abstract
Now a days environmental pollution is the major concern specialty heavy metals discharged from different industrial waste stream. There are different conventional methods for metal removal from aqueous stream like evaporation, ion-exchange, precipitation, solvent extraction etc. But due to some limitations of these methods currently biosorption methods are promising for metal removal. Application of immobilized biomass gaining milage emphasis to overcome limitations of free biomass. In this study CMC immobilized Rhizopus oryzae was used for optimization of different parameters like, cell mass concentration, matrix concentration, bead size, temperature, pH, time etc. Biosorption isotherm, metal removal kinetics were also studied. To establishe the role of different functional groups present on the cell surface FTIR and SEM study were done.
