Abstract
Potentially, biosorption is an economic process for metal sequestering from water. Carboxylated alginic acid showed high uptake capacities for heavy metals of 5-6 meq/g dry mass. For application to actual plating wastewater, the carboxylated alginic acid was immobilized using PVA. In order to remove chelating or organic materials in plating wastewater, oxidation using sodium hypochlorite was performed as a pretreatment. When carboxylated alginic acid bead was applied in a packed-bed contactor, the breakthrough point of copper ion in the acid-alkaline wastewater appeared around 350 bed volumes; the breakthrough point of nickel ion in the chelating wastewater emerged around 200 bed volumes. The adsorption capacity for heavy metal of the carboxylated alginic acid bead was higher than that of a commercial ion exchanger (IR-120 plus) in plating wastewater.
