Treatment of Rhenium-Containing Effluents Using Environmentally Friendly Sorbent, Saccharomyces cerevisiae Biomass. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14164763. [PMID: 34443283 PMCID: PMC8400443 DOI: 10.3390/ma14164763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2021] [Revised: 08/19/2021] [Accepted: 08/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae biomass was applied for rhenium and accompanying elements (copper and molybdenum) removal from single- and multi-component systems (Re, Re-Mo, Re-Cu, and Re-Mo-Cu). Yeast biomass was characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The effects of biosorption experimental parameters such as solution pH (2.0–6.0), rhenium concentration (10–100 mg/L), time of interaction (5–120 min), and temperature (20–50 °C) have been discussed in detail. Maximum removal of rhenium (75–84%) and molybdenum (85%) was attained at pH 2.0, while pH 3.0–5.0 was more favorable for copper ions removal (53–68%). The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models were used to describe the equilibrium sorption of rhenium on yeast biomass. Langmuir isotherm shows the maximum yeast adsorption capacities toward rhenium ions ranged between 7.7 and 33 mg/g. Several kinetic models (pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich) were applied to define the best correlation for each metal. Biosorption of metal ions was well-fitted by Elovich and pseudo-first-order models. The negative free energy reflected the feasibility and spontaneous nature of the biosorption process. Saccharomyces cerevisiae biomass can be considered as a perspective biosorbent for metal removal.

Comparative assessment of Brassica pekinensis L. genotypes for phytoavoidation of nitrate, cadmium and lead in multi-pollutant field. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOREMEDIATION 2020; 22:972-985.

Abstract
Information is needed for comparative assessment and agronomic practices for phytoavoidation in multi-pollutant field. A field study was conducted to explore 97 Brassica pekinensis L. genotypes with permissible limit of contaminants growing in a severely Cd, moderately nitrate and slightly Pb multi-polluted field. Thirteen genotypes, i.e. KGZY, CXQW, CAIB, JINL, JQIN, JFEN, WMQF, XLSH, TAIK, BJXS, JUKA, XYJQ and GQBW, were identified with permissible limit for nitrate, Cd and Pb based on their resistance to heavy metal and nitrate accumulation in leaves when grown in co-contaminated soils. Furthermore, the correlation between essential and toxic elements concentrations in plant of B. pekinensis were inconsistent. Generally speaking, application of increasing Ca, K and S fertilizers in appropriate forms and dosages tended to increase the yield and quality of B. pekinensis cultivated in multi-pollutant field.
