Methodology of Biosorption Investigations



Over the past 25 years, intensifying research into metal biosorption ellucidated the principles of this effective metal-concentration phenomenon.  Biosorption can be very cost-effective particularly in environmental applications where a low cost of the metal removal process is most desirable.  Some very efficient natural biosorbents have been identified, and more are continuously reported upon, that require very little modification in their preparation.  The pretreatment needs will also be discussed in this presentation.  Engineering scale-up of the biosorption process seems fairly straightforward, based on experience from conventional sorption operations.

Perhaps it is the interdisciplinary nature of biosorption investigations may be at the root of many misconceptions in their conduct and result reporting.  The fundamentals of single- and multimetal equilibrium as well as dynamic flow-through sorption column studies are summarized in this presentation that also points out the main scientific pitfalls.
