Abstract
Legacy radioactive waste can be defined as the radioactive waste produced during the infancy of the civil nuclear industry's development in the mid-20th Century, a time when, unfortunately, waste storage and treatment were not well planned. The marine environment is one of the environmental compartments worth studying in this regard because of legacy waste in specific locations of the seabed. Comprising nearly 70% of the earth's service, the oceans are the largest and indeed the final destination for contaminated fresh waters. For this reason, long-term studies of the accumulation biochemical mechanisms of metallic radionuclides in the marine ecosystem are required. In this context the brown algal compartment may be ecologically relevant because of forming large and dense algal beds in coastal areas and potential important biomass for contamination. This report presents the first step in the investigation of uranium (U, an element used in the nuclear cycle) bioaccumulation in the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum using a multi-scale spectroscopic and imaging approach. Contamination of A. nodosum specimens in closed aquaria at 13 °C was performed with a defined quantity of U(VI) (10-5 M). The living algal uptake was quantified by ICP-MS and a localization study in the various algal compartments was carried out by combining electronic microscopy imaging (SEM), X-ray Absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and micro X-ray Florescence (μ-XRF). Data indicate that the brown alga is able to concentrate U(VI) by an active bioaccumulation mechanism, reaching an equilibrium state after 200 h of daily contamination. A comparison between living organisms and dry biomass confirms a stress-response process in the former, with an average bioaccumulation factor (BAF) of 10 ± 2 for living specimens (90% lower compared to dry biomass, 142 ± 5). Also, these results open new perspectives for a potential use of A. nodosum dry biomass as uranium biosorbent. The different partial BAFs (bioaccumulation factors) range from 3 (for thallus) to 49 (for receptacles) leading to a compartmentalization of uranium within the seaweed. This reveals a higher accumulation capacity in the receptacles, the algal reproductive parts. SEM images highlight the different tissue distributions among the compartments with a superficial absorption in the thallus and lateral branches and several hotspots in the oospheres of the female individuals. A preliminary speciation XAS analysis identified a distinct U speciation in the gametes-containing receptacles as a pseudo-autunite phosphate phase. Similarly, XAS measurements on the lateral branches (XANES) were not conclusive with regards to the occurrence of an alginate-U complex in these tissues. Nonetheless, the hypothesis that alginate may play a role in the speciation of U in the algal thallus tissues is still under consideration.

Abstract
A batch system was employed to investigate the biosorption of strontium (II) on Sargassum sp. The biosorption of strontium on Sargassum sp was studied with response surface methodology to determine the combined effect of temperature, initial metal ion concentration, biomass treatment, biosorbent dosage and pH. Under optimal conditions, the algae's biosorption capacity for strontium (initial pH 7.2, initial strontium concentration 300 mg/l for Mg-treated biomass and biosorbent dosage 0.1 g in 100 mL metal solution) was measured at 103.95 mg/g. In our analysis, equilibrium data were fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Results show that the best fit is provided by the Freundlich model. Biosorption dynamics analysis of the experimental data indicated that strontium (II) was absorbed into algal biomass in accordance with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model well.

Abstract
In the present study we investigated the ability of the microalgal strain Parachlorella sp. AA1 to biologically uptake a radionuclide waste material. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the biosorption of uranyl ions (U(VI)) in the 0.5–50.0 mg/L concentration range by strain AA1. The results showed that AA1 biomass could uptake U(VI). The highest removal efficiency and biosorption capacity (95.6%) occurred within 60 h at an initial U(VI) concentration of 20 mg/L. The optimum pH for biosorption was 9.0 at a temperature of 25 °C. X-ray absorption near edge structure analysis confirmed the presence of U(VI) in pellets of Parachlorella sp. AA1 cells. The biosorption methods investigated here may be useful in the treatment and disposal of nuclides and heavy metals in diverse wastewaters.

Abstract
In the present investigation seaweeds of macroalgae like Kappaphycus alvarezii, Gracilaria salicornia and Gracilaria edulis used as novel biosorbent in native (KA, GS, GE) and ethanol modified (EKA, EGS, EGE) for Rhodamine B (RB) removal from aqueous solution in batch process. Effect of various biosorption parameters such as pH, initial concentration of RB, biosorbent dosage and contact time were studied. The maximum biosorption capacity determined as 9.84 (KA), 11.03 (GS), 8.96 (GE), 112.35 (EKA), 105.26 (EGS) and 97.08 mg/g (EGE), respectively towards the removal of RB from aqueous solutions. Better removal of RB was observed using EKA, EGS, and EGE biosorbents at 2.0 pH. The characterizations of the biosorbents were performed using Scanning Electron microscope and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Biosorption equilibrium data evaluated using Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich and Jovanovic isotherm model. The Langmuir isotherm model best suited the equilibrium data for all the biosorbents studied. The rate of RB removal subjected to kinetic analysis using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intra-particle diffusion and Elovich models. Pseudo-second-order kinetic model better described the experimental data of the RB biosorption. Desorption studies performed using 0.1 M sodium hydroxide as eluting agents for regeneration and recycle analysis. The recyclability of the six biosorbents showed consistent biosorption capacity towards RB removal up to the entire three cycles. The studied biosorbents sourced from large volume and easily available, further biosorption performance indicated that the KA, GS, GE, EKA, EGS and EGE could be used as efficient, alternative and eco-friendly biosorbents for the removal of harmful dyes in the environment.

Abstract
Biosorption-based technologies have been proposed for the removal of radionuclides from radioactive liquid waste containing organic compounds. Nevertheless, pytoremediation potential of uranium (U) by nonliving aquatic macrophytes Lemna sp. and Pistia stratiotes has not been previously addressed. In this study, uranium biosorption capacity by Pistia stratiotes and Lemna sp. was evaluated by equilibrium and kinetics experiments. The biomasses were added to synthetic and real waste solutions. The assays were tested in polypropylene vials containing 10 mL of uranium nitrate solution and 0.20 g of biomass. Solutions ranging from 0.25 to 84.03 mmol l-1 were employed for the assessment of uranium concentration in each macrophyte. The equilibrium time was 1 h for both macrophytes. Lemna sp. achieved the highest sorption capacity with the use of the synthetic solution, which was 0.68 mmol g-1 for the macrophyte. Since Lemna sp. exhibit a much higher adsorption capacity, only this biomass was exposed to the actual waste solution, being able to adsorb 9.24 × 10-3 mmol g-1 U (total). The results show that these materials are potentially applicable to the treatment of liquid radioactive waste.

Abstract
This paper describes the application of poly (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate-N-methacryloyl-L-tryptophane methyl ester) [p(EGDMA-MATrp)] microspheres as an affinity sorbent for the SPE (solid phase extraction) cleanup of sulfamerazine (SMR) from food samples of animal origin before high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. The microspheres were prepared by suspension polymerization of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and N-methacryloyl-L-tryptophane methyl ester (MATrp) as a crosslinker and a monomer, respectively. Various parameters affecting the SPE cleanup efficiency of the p(EGDMA-MATrp) microspheres (contact time, pH, initial SMR concentration, ionic strength etc.) were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 8.55 ± 0.44 mg/g sorbent at pH 5.0. 90% of the adsorbed SMR was desorbed by using ACN:MeOH (5:5) mixture as a desorption agent. Applicability of the microspheres for the SPE cleanup of SMR residues in the food samples such as egg and milk with HPLC was also determined. It was demonstrated that the prepared p(EGDMA-MATrp) microspheres could be repeatedly applied for SPE cleanup of sulfamerazine before chromatographic analysis. Also, the recoveries of SMR in milk and egg samples were reasonably satisfactory and in the range of 71 to 90%.

Abstract
Biomass-based decontamination methods are among the most interesting water treatment techniques. In this study, 2 cyanobacterial strains, Nostoc punctiforme A.S/S4 and Chroococcidiopsis thermalis S.M/S9, isolated from hot springs containing high concentrations of radium (226Ra), were studied to be associated with removal of radionuclides (238U and 226Ra) and heavy metal cadmium (Cd) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption equilibrium data was described by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Kinetic studies indicated that the sorption of 3 metals followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. Effects of biomass concentration, pH, contact time, and initial metal concentration on adsorption were also investigated. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy revealed active binding sites on the cyanobacterial biomass. The obtained maximum biosorption capacities were 630 mg g-1 and 37 kBq g-1 for 238U and 226Ra for N. punctiforme and 730 mg g-1 and 55 kBq g-1 for C. thermalis. These 2 strains showed maximum binding capacity 160 and 225 mg g-1, respectively for Cd adsorption. These results suggest that radioactivity resistant cyanobacteria could be employed as an efficient adsorbent for decontamination of multi-component, radioactive and industrial wastewater.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the adsorption of uranium (VI) ions on the polypyrrole adsorbent. Polypyrrole was synthesized by a chemical method using polyethylene glycol, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as the surfactant and iron (III) chloride as an oxidant in the aqueous solution. The effect of various surfactants on the synthesized polymers and their performance as the uranium adsorbent were investigated. Adsorbent properties were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The effect of different parameters such as pH, contact time, initial metal ion concentrations, adsorbent dose, and the temperature was investigated in the batch system for uranium adsorption process. It has been illustrated that the adsorption equilibrium time is 7min. The results showed that the Freundlich model had the best agreement and the maximum adsorption capacity of polypyrrole for uranium (VI) was determined 87.72mg/g from Langmuir isotherm. In addition, the mentioned adsorption process was fast and the kinetic data were fitted to the Pseudo first and second order models. The adsorption kinetic data followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Moreover, the thermodynamic parameters ΔG0, ΔH0 and ΔS0 showed that the uranium adsorption process by polypyrrole was endothermic and spontaneous.

Abstract
In order to develop an effective and economical method for removing low concentration radioactive wastewater of uranium, the biomass of 'CMCC(F)-98003' Aspergillus niger was investigated in a batch system. The maximum uranium adsorption capacity of 12.5 mg g-1 was obtained at the initial uranium concentration of 0.75 mg L-1. The biosorption data on a biomass concentration of 0.029 g L-1 fitted well to the Freundlich isotherm with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.987. The calculated thermodynamic parameters showed that the biosorption of uranium ions was endothermic (ΔH° < 0). The results of scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry analysis revealed that nano-particles of uranium precipitation were formed on the cell surfaces after biosorption, and the functional groups of -CH, N-H, -COOH, P = O and the carbohydrates and alcohols were involved in the biosorption process between A. niger and uranium ions.

Abstract
To evaluate its ability to absorb dissolved uranium (VI), the waste biomass of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was immobilized using different agents, including Ca-alginate (Ca-SA), Ca-alginate with graphene oxide (GO), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, 5% or 10%, w/v)-SA-GO in CaCl2-boric acid solution. The experimental results showed that graphene oxide at 0.01% (w/v) could enhance the performance of the immobilized cells. The yeast gel beads prepared with 5% PVA-1% SA-2% yeast-0.01% GO-2% CaCl2-saturated boric acid (4#) generally showed the better physical-chemical properties such as higher tolerance to the unfavorable environmental conditions. Moreover, the 4# gel beads exhibited more stable capacity for U(VI) sorption and desorption at various conditions, such as pH in the range of 3-9. A pseudo second-order kinetic model could describe the kinetics of U(VI) sorption onto the 4# gel beads (R2 = 0.96). The Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin and Sips models could be used to describe U(VI) sorption by the 4# gel beads, with the R2 being 0.90, 0.83, 0.96, 0.97, respectively. The Sips maximum capacity of 4# gel beads was 24.4 mg U/g dry weight. The desorption efficiency of U(VI) adsorbed onto the 4# gel beads was 91%, 73% and 40% by 0.1 M HNO3, 0.1 M HCl and 0.1 M NaOH, respectively. However, the 4# gel beads exhibited lower U(VI) sorption capacity than the raw yeast cell (Sips maximum capacity of 35.6 mg U/g). The immobilized Saccharomyces cerevisiae using SA, PVA and/or GO showed obvious changes in the molecular vibration of functional groups such as carboxyl, amide and hydroxyl groups compared with the raw yeast cells, according to FTIR analysis. The SEM-EDX analysis showed that U(VI) was adsorbed unevenly on the cellular surface. Carboxyl and hydroxyl groups may be involved in U(VI) binding by yeast cells.

Abstract
There is limited knowledge available on metalloid biosorption by freshwater algae. In this study, biosorption properties of anionic Sb(OH) 6 (-) by naturally occurring cyanobacteria Microcystis were investigated as a function of initial pH, biosorbent dosage, contact time, and addition sequences of competitive ions, and their binding mechanisms were discussed. The biosorption process was fast and equilibrium was reached at 2 h. Sb(V) biosorption decreased with the increase of pH and the optimum pH range was 2.5-3.0, which corresponded with the changes of surface charges of the cell wall of Microcystis. The biosorption data satisfactorily followed the Freundlich model. The simultaneous addition of H2PO4 (-) and Ca(2+) enhanced Sb(V) biosorption, while NO3 (-) greatly inhibited the biosorption, compared with single Sb(V) addition. The initial addition of the competitive ions reduced Sb(V) biosorption at higher Sb(V) concentrations, compared with simultaneous addition. A fraction of biosorbed Sb(V) was replaced by the competitive ions which were added subsequently, and the exchange only occurred at higher concentrations of Sb(V). 1.0 mol/L HCl demonstrated the highest desorption efficiency. Speciation analyses indicated that no reduction of Sb(V) into Sb(III) occurred. Based on the results of zeta potential and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy spectra, Sb(OH) 6 (-) bound to the biomass through electrostatic attraction and surface complexation, and amino, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups were involved in the biosorption process. The study suggest that Microcystis from cyanobacteria blooms could be used as a potential biosorbent to remove Sb(V) from effluents at environmentally relevant concentrations (≤10.0 mg/L).

Abstract
In this study, uranium(VI) was successfully removed from aqueous solutions using heat-treated carbon microspheres based on a batch adsorption technique. Influence of the parameters, such as solution pH, contact time, initial uranium(VI) concentration, and temperature on the removal efficiency have been investigated in detail. The results reveal that the maximum adsorption capacity of the heat-treated carbon microspheres toward uranium(VI) is 92.08 mg g(-1), displaying a high efficiency for the removal of uranium(VI) from aqueous solution. The experimental data are analyzed using sorption kinetic models. It is revealed that the process obey the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, the determining step might be chemical sorption. The thermodynamic parameters, such as ΔH°, ΔS°, and ΔG° show that the process is endothermic and spontaneous. This work provides an efficient, fast, and convenient approach for the removal of uranium(VI) from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Chromium (VI) removal efficiency of a biosorbent prepared from fruit peel of Trewia nudiflora plant was studied. The effect of pH, sorbent dose, initial metal concentration and temperature was studied with synthetic Cr⁺⁶ solution in batch mode. About 278 mg/g of Cr⁺⁶ sorption was obtained at 293 K at an optimum pH of 2.0 and biosorbent dose of 0.75 g/L. Equilibrium sorption data with varying initial concentration of Cr⁺⁶ (22-248 mg/L) at three different temperatures (293-313 K) were analyzed by various isotherms. Biosorption kinetics and thermodynamics were described using standard model equations. Encouraging results were obtained by the application of the biosorptive treatment for removal of Cr⁺⁶ from wastewater collected from common effluent treatment plant of tannery industry. In addition, C⁺⁶r desorption behavior was studied on different systems. Biosorbent was characterized by FESEM, FT-IR and XRD, etc. Effect of the biosorptive treatement with respect to the phytotoxicity of Cr⁺⁶ was analyzed by studying the seed germination behavior and enzyme activity of a pulse seed (Vigna radiata L.). Different concentrations of Cr⁺⁶ solution in both synthetic medium, as well as, in tannery effluent was employed and the results were compared with that of biosorbent treated medium. The study showed that due to efficient removal of Cr⁺⁶ from aqueous phase, considerable enhancement of seed germination, as well as, increase in root length was obtained for the biosorbent treated solutions which were close to that of the control values. Significant decrease (P < 0.01) in POD activity was observed in seeds irrigated with biosorbent treated wastewater compared to untreated wastewater. The study showed that the novel biosorbent prepared might be utilized for abatement of heavy metal toxicity, i.e., Cr⁺⁶ from industrial effluent.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The biosorption characteristics of strontium ions using fungus Aspergillus terreus were investigated. Experimental parameters affecting the biosorption process such as pH, contact time, initial metal concentration, and temperature were studied. MATHEMATICAL DESCRIPTION Fungus A. terreus exhibited the highest strontium uptake capacity at 15°C at an initial strontium ion concentration of 876 mg L(-1) and an initial pH of 9. Biosorption capacity increased from 219 to 308 mg g(-1) with a decrease in temperature from 45°C to 15°C at this initial strontium concentration. The equilibrium data fitted very well to the Langmuir adsorption model in the concentration range of strontium ions and at all the temperatures studied. CONCLUSION Evaluation of the experimental data in terms of biosorption dynamics showed that the biosorption of strontium onto fungus followed the pseudo-second-order dynamics well (R(2) > 0.985). The calculated thermodynamics parameters (-1.64 < ∆G° < -1.93 kJ mol(-1) at temperatures of 45-15°C, ∆H° = -4.83 kJ mol(-1) and ∆S° = -0.01 kJ mol(-1) K(-1)) showed that the biosorption of strontium ions were feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic at the temperature ranges of 15-45°C.
