Περίληψη | In the present paper, the efficiency of adsorbents and biosorbents for the removal of metal ions and the
clean up of leachates, generated at two Romanian mine waste disposal sites is examined. Several
adsorbents such as activated charcoal, molecular sieve, shell sand, diatomite, bentonite, kaolin, as well as
biosorbents such as xanthan biopolymer and waste biomasses are assessed, in terms of metal ion removal
efficiency, in laboratory glass columns, comprising layers of coarse sand and 3 layers of each
adsorbent/biosorbent. The effect of immobilized bacterial cells (naturally occurring consortia of acidophilic
heterotrophic and chemolithotrophic bacteria) was also studied. The experimental results show that shell
sand, molecular sieve and waste biomass have a relatively high efficiency in removing most heavy metal
ions present in low pH leachates. Regarding shell sand and for the experimental conditions used, the
selectivity follows the order Pb>As>Cd>Ni>Cu>Zn>Al>Co>Mn. From the two types of the isolated from
leachates inoculum used as immobilized biomass, only heterothrophic acidophilic bacteria had a positive
effect on metal uptake in contrary to chemolithotrophic acidophilic bacteria. The sufficient metal removal
efficiency attained even without the use of immobilized bacteria, is mainly due to the stimulation of
naturally occurring microbiota by addition of culture media; this stimulation may be considered as a feasible
alternative to the use of immobilized cells in biosorption applications, regardless of the type of
adsorbent/biosorbent used and the metal ion in concern. | en |
