Abstract
BACKGROUND Removal of heavy metals from water and soil is a pressing challenge in environmental engineering, and biosorption by microorganisms is considered as one of the most cost-effective methods. In this study, the metal-binding proteins MerR and ChrB derived from Cupriavidus metallidurans were separately expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 to construct adsorption strains. To improve the adsorption performance, surface display and codon optimization were carried out. RESULTS In this study, we constructed 24 adsorption engineering strains for Hg2+ and Cr6+, utilizing different strategies. Among these engineering strains, the M'-002 and B-008 had the strongest heavy metal ion absorption ability. The M'-002 used the flexible linker and INPN to display the merRopt at the surface of the E. coli BL21, whose maximal adsorption capacity reached 658.40 μmol/g cell dry weight under concentrations of 300 μM Hg2+. And the B-008 overexpressed the chrB in the intracellular, its maximal capacity was 46.84 μmol/g cell dry weight under concentrations 500 μM Cr6+. While in the case of mixed ions solution (including Pb2+, Cd2+, Cr6+ and Hg2+), the total amount of ions adsorbed by M'-002 and B-008 showed an increase of up to 1.14- and 4.09-folds, compared to the capacities in the single ion solution. CONCLUSION The construction and optimization of heavy metal adsorption strains were carried out in this work. A comparison of the adsorption behavior between single bacteria and mixed bacteria systems was investigated in both a single ion and a mixed ion environment. The Hg2+ absorption capacity is reached the highest reported to date with the engineered strain M'-002, which displayed the merRopt at the surface of chassis cell, indicating the strain's potential for its application in practical environments.

Abstract
While the amount of electronic waste is increasing worldwide, the heterogeneity of electronic scrap makes the recycling very complicated. Hydrometallurgical methods are currently applied in e-waste recycling which tend to generate complex polymetallic solutions due to dissolution of all metal components. Although biosorption has previously been described as a viable option for metal recovery and removal from low-concentration or single-metal solutions, information about the application of selective metal biosorption from polymetallic solutions is missing. In this study, an environmentally friendly and selective biosorption approach, based on the pH-dependency of metal sorption processes is presented using spent brewer's yeast to efficiently recover metals like aluminum, copper, zinc and nickel out of polymetallic solutions. Therefore, a design of experiment (DoE) approach was used to identify the effects of pH, metal, and biomass concentration, and optimize the biosorption efficiency for each individual metal. After process optimization with single-metal solutions, biosorption experiments with lyophilized waste yeast biomass were performed with synthetic polymetallic solutions where over 50% of aluminum at pH 3.5, over 40% of copper at pH 5.0 and over 70% of zinc at pH 7.5 could be removed. Moreover, more than 50% of copper at pH 3.5 and over 90% of zinc at pH 7.5 were recovered from a real polymetallic waste stream after leaching of printed-circuit boards. The reusability of yeast biomass was confirmed in five consecutive biosorption steps with little loss in metal recovery abilities. This proves that spent brewer's yeast can be sustainably used to selectively recover metals from polymetallic waste streams different to previously reported studies.

Abstract
Waste biomass of Pichia pastoris (P.pastoris) cells from the fermentation industry is an environmentally friendly biosorption material. The present study aimed to explore the biosorption behaviour of waste P.pastoris cells for Cu(II), Ni(II) and Cr(VI) in aqueous solution conditions. The results showed that the adsorption kinetics of three kinds of metals were well-fitted with lineared Elovich, pseudo-second-order kinetics models, non-linear kinetics and adsorption isotherms. The effective biosorption rates for Cu(II), Ni(II) and Cr(VI) removal were 71.3%, 59.7% and 16.25% respectively. The maximum Cu(II) adsorption capacity of waste P.pastoris was 40 mg/g at pH = 4 and 225 mg/L of solute concentration for 0.4 g biomass, better than that of the living yeasts. The pattern of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) indicated that functional groups such as -NH, -OH, Si-O, P-O-C were involved in Cu(II) adsorption process. The analysis of SEM-EDS, XRD and TEM-EDS can be concluded that Cu(II) occupied Ca(II) binding sites by ion exchange mechanism to remove flocculation, and Cu(II) adsorbed onto the diatomite containing in the industrial waste P.pastoris. Thus the adsorption mechanism of the industrial waste P.pastoris was proposed taking Cu(II) as the example. And consecutive biosorption/desorption cycles were used for the evaluation of the regeneration efficiency, suggesting the good regeneration and reusability of waste P.pastoris.

Abstract
The advances in nanotechnology have shown enormous impacts in environmental technology as a potent weapon for degradation of toxic organic pollutants and detoxification of heavy metals. It is either by in-situ or ex-situ adaptive strategies. Mycoremediation of environmental pollutants has been a success story of the past decade, by employing the wide arsenal of biological capabilities of fungi. Recently, the proficiency and uniqueness of yeast cell surface alterations have encouraged the generation of engineered yeast cells as dye degraders, heavy metal reduction and its recovery, and also as detoxifiers of various hazardous xenobiotic compounds. As a step forward, recent trends in research are towards developing biologically engineered living materials as potent, biocompatible and reusable hybrid nanomaterials. They include chitosan-yeast nanofibers, nanomats, nanopaper, biosilica hybrids, and TiO2-yeast nanocomposites. The nano-hybrid materials contribute significantly as supportive stabilizer, and entrappers, which enhances the biofabricated yeast cells' functionality. This field serves as an eco-friendly cutting-edge cocktail research area. In this review, we highlight recent research on biofabricated yeast cells and yeast-based biofabricated molecules, as potent heavy metals, toxic chemical detoxifiers, and their probable mechanistic properties with future application perspectives.

Abstract
In recent decades, environmental pollution with chromium (Cr) has gained significant attention. Although chromium (Cr) can exist in a variety of different oxidation states and is a polyvalent element, only trivalent chromium [Cr(III)] and hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] are found frequently in the natural environment. In the current review, we summarize the biogeochemical procedures that regulate Cr(VI) mobilization, accumulation, bioavailability, toxicity in soils, and probable risks to ecosystem are also highlighted. Plants growing in Cr(VI)-contaminated soils show reduced growth and development with lower agricultural production and quality. Furthermore, Cr(VI) exposure causes oxidative stress due to the production of free radicals which modifies plant morpho-physiological and biochemical processes at tissue and cellular levels. However, plants may develop extensive cellular and physiological defensive mechanisms in response to Cr(VI) toxicity to ensure their survival. To cope with Cr(VI) toxicity, plants either avoid absorbing Cr(VI) from the soil or turn on the detoxifying mechanism, which involves producing antioxidants (both enzymatic and non-enzymatic) for scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, this review also highlights recent knowledge of remediation approaches i.e., bioremediation/phytoremediation, or remediation by using microbes exogenous use of organic amendments (biochar, manure, and compost), and nano-remediation supplements, which significantly remediate Cr(VI)-contaminated soil/water and lessen possible health and environmental challenges. Future research needs and knowledge gaps are also covered. The review's observations should aid in the development of creative and useful methods for limiting Cr(VI) bioavailability, toxicity and sustainably managing Cr(VI)-polluted soils/water, by clear understanding of mechanistic basis of Cr(VI) toxicity, signaling pathways, and tolerance mechanisms; hence reducing its hazards to the environment.

Abstract
Biosorption is a viable and environmentally friendly process to remove pollutants and species of commercial interest. Biological materials are employed as adsorbents for the retention, removal, or recovery of potentially toxic metals from aqueous matrices. Hexavalent chromium is a potential contaminant commonly used in galvanoplasty and exhibits concerning effects on humans and the environment. The present work used in natura lettuce root (LR) and nanomodified lettuce root (LR-NP) for Cr(VI) adsorption from water medium. The nanomodification was performed by coprecipitation of magnetite nanoparticles on LR. All materials were morphologically and chemically characterized. The conditions used in removing Cr(VI) were determined by evaluating the pH at the point of zero charge (pHPZC = 5.96 and 6.50 for LR and LR-NP, respectively), pH, kinetics, and sorption capacity in batch procedures. The maximum sorption capacity of these materials was reached at pH 1.0 and 30 min of adsorbent-adsorbate contact time. The pseudo-second-order kinetic equation provided the best adjustments with r2 0.9982 and 0.9812 for LR and LR-NP, respectively. Experimental sorption capacity (Qexp) results were 4.51 ± 0.04 mg/g, 2.48 ± 0.57 mg/g, and 3.84 ± 0.08 mg/g for LR, NP, and LR-NP, respectively, at a 10 g/L adsorbent dose. Six isothermal models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, Temkin, DR, and Hill) fit the experimental data to describe the adsorption process. Freundlich best fit the experimental data suggesting physisorption. Despite showing slightly lower Qexp than LR, LR-NP provides a feasible manner to remove the Cr(VI)-containing biosorbent from the medium after sorption given its magnetic characteristic.

Abstract
Adsorption is a widely used technology for removing and separating heavy metal from water, attributed to its eco-friendly, cost-effective, and high efficiency. Adsorption isotherm modeling has been used for many years to predict the adsorption equilibrium mechanism, adsorption capacity, and the inherent characteristics of the adsorption process, all of which are substantial in evaluating the performance of adsorbents. This review summarizes the development history, fundamental characteristics, and mathematical derivations of various isotherm models, along with their applicable conditions and application scenarios in heavy metal adsorption. The latest progress in applying isotherm models with a one-parameter, two-parameter, and three-parameter in heavy metal adsorption using carbon-based materials, which has gained much attention in recent years as low-cost adsorbents, is critically reviewed and discussed. Several experimental factors affecting the adsorption equilibrium, such as solution pH, temperature, ionic strength, adsorbent dose, and initial heavy metal concentration, are briefly discussed. The criteria for selecting the optimum isotherm for heavy metal adsorption are proposed by comparing various adsorption models and analyzing mathematical error functions. Finally, the relative performance of different isotherm models for heavy metal adsorption is compared, and the future research gaps are identified.

Abstract
Water bodies affected by heavy metals have been characterized in some natural ecosystems such as coastal wetlands in Peru. For this reason, in the present study, the determination of heavy metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and others was carried out in the water bodies of the Regional Conservation Area (RCA) Wetlands of Ventanilla using the Induction Coupled Plasma method. Water samples were collected at the six most critical stations for Pb and Cd, for the isolation of lead-tolerant microorganisms in 2022 with the aim of evaluating native microorganisms with removal potential of Pb and Cd. Yeasts such as Candida guilliermondii, Candida famata, Cryptococcus laurentii, Cryptococcus humicola, and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa with tolerance to high concentrations of Pb were isolated. The yeast with the best Pb tolerance result was Candida guilliermondii isolated from groundwater (piezometer sampling J1); Pb sorption was conducted with active yeast (living biomass), whereas both Pb and Cd sorption were conducted with inactive yeast (dead biomass). The results were compared with those of a reference standard yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae: the native yeast proved to have optimum behavior for the process.

Abstract
Among numerous methods developed in purification and separation industries, the adsorption process has received considerable attention due to its inexpensive, facile, and eco-friendly nature. The importance of the adsorption process causes extraordinary endeavors for modeling the adsorption isotherms during the years; thus, myriads of research have been conducted and many reviews have been published. In this paper, we have attempted to gather the most widely used adsorption isotherms and their related definitions, along with examples of correlated work of the recent decade. In the present review, 37 adsorption isotherms with about 400 references have been collected from the research published in the period of 2010-2020. The adsorption isotherms utilized are alphabetically organized for ease of access. The parameters of each isotherm, as well as the applicable definitions, are presented in the table, in addition to being discussed in the text. Another table is provided for the practical use of researchers, featuring the usage of the related isotherms in peer-reviewed studies.

Abstract
Biosorption has become a viable and ecological process in which biological materials are employed as adsorbents for the removal of potentially toxic metals, such as hexavalent chromium, from aqueous matrices. This work proposed the use of in natura (SB) and nanomodified sugarcane bagasse (SB-NP) with ferromagnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) to adsorb Cr(VI) from water. These materials were analyzed by X-ray Spectroscopy (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to investigate their morphology and interaction with Cr(VI). It was observed the efficient impregnation of magnetite on the SB surface and the presence of functional groups such as O-H, C-H, C=O, C-O-C, C-O, and Fe-O (characteristic of magnetite). The best conditions for Cr(VI) removal in aqueous medium were determined by assessing the pH at the point of zero charge (pHPZC = 6.1 and 5.8 for SB and SB-NP, respectively), adsorption pH and kinetics, and adsorption capacity. Batch procedures were performed using increasing concentrations of Cr(VI), 10-100 mg/L at pH 1.0, and 30 min of contact time. The adsorbent dose was 10 mg/L, and the experimental adsorption capacities (SCexp) for SB, NP, and SB-NP were 1.49 ± 0.06 mg/g, 2.48 ± 0.57 mg/g, and 1.60 ± 0.08 mg/g, respectively. All Cr contents were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The pseudo-2nd-order kinetic equation provided the best adjustments with r2 0.9966 and 0.9931 for SB and SB-NP, respectively. Six isotherm models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Hill) were applied to the experimental data, and Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R), and Temkin were the models that best described the experimental sorption process. The binding energy values (E) provided by the D-R model were 0.11 ± 0.25, 0.09 ± 0.20, and 0.08 ± 0.25 kJ/mol, for NP, SB-NP, and SB, respectively, and denote a physical interaction for the studied adsorbate-adsorbent system. The nanomodification of the biomass slightly improved the efficiency for the sorption of Cr(VI) and facilitated the removal of Cr(VI)-containing biosorbents from water medium.

Abstract
In the present study, biomass of Agaricus campestris was tested to evaluate its effectivity as a biosorbent for the removal of Cr (VI) ions from aqueous solutions. The influence of various process parameters such as pH, temperature, contact time, biosorbent dosage and desorption were studied. Pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Ritchies and intraparticle diffusion model were used to present the adsorption kinetics. Results obtained indicate that the adsorption process is fast and spontaneous within the first 60 min. The experimental data supports pseudo-second order model. The sorption data conformed well to the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity (q max) onto A. campestris was 56.21 mg g-1 for Cr(VI) at 45°C when 0.1 g biomass was used. In addition, the mean values of thermodynamic parameters of standard free energy (ΔG0 = -1.635 kJ mol-1 at 45°C), standard enthalpy (ΔH0 = -9.582 kJ mol-1) and standard entropy (ΔS0 = -24.992 J mol-1K-1) of the adsorption mechanism were determined.

Abstract
We found the mineralization of Cu during long-term Cu2+ adsorption onto dry baker's yeast cells phosphorylated using sodium cyclo-triphosphate. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed that the elemental composition of minerals were copper, phosphorus, and oxygen. Synchrotron-based X-ray absorption fine structure showed that the local structure around Cu atoms deposited on the mineral was almost identical to that of commercial copper (II) phosphate Cu3(PO4)2∙3H2O. However, the crystallinity was low, and the structure was slightly distorted. Time profile analysis using FESEM revealed that copper phosphate mineralization was first apparent on Day 3 of adsorption, whereas mineral formation plateaued at around Day 7. It seems that mineralization occurs by the local saturation of phosphate and Cu2+ on the yeast cells. Mineralization of the rare earth ion Dy3+ was also demonstrated during long-term adsorption. Mineralization on phosphorylated yeast cells appears to follow a common path for various types of metal ions and provides a promising technique for metal recovery via irreversible adsorption.

Abstract
Biosorption ability of date palm empty fruit bunch (DPEFB) was examined for the removal of toxic hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) ions from synthetic wastewater. The pretreated DPEFB biosorbent was studied for its morphology and surface chemistry through Scanning electron microscopy, Energy dispersive elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Effect of biosorption parameters such as pH, biosorbent dosage, contact time, temperature, initial feed concentration and agitation speed on the Cr6+ ions removal efficiency by DPEFB was critically evaluated. The isoelectric point for the DPEFB sorbent was observed at pH 2, above which it was dehydronated to capture the positively charged Cr6+ ions. Batch biosorption studies showed that an optimal chromium removal efficiency of 58.02% was recorded by the DPEFB biosorbent for pH 2, dosage 0.3 g, 100 rpm agitation speed, 120 min contact time, 50 mg/L initial feed concentration and 30 °C operational temperature. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the binding of Cr6+ ions on DPEFB surface was exothermic, stable and favorable at room temperature. Equilibrium behavior of chromium binding on DPEFB was more aligned to Temkin isotherm (R2 = 0.9852) highlighting the indirect interactions between Cr6+ ions and the biosorbent. Kinetic modeling revealed that the biosorption of Cr6+ ions by DPEFB obeyed pseudo-second order model than the pseudo-first order and intra-particle diffusion models. Reusability studies of the DPEFB sorbent showed that NaNO3 was an effective regenerant and the biosorbent can be efficiently reused up to three successive biosorption-desorption cycles for chromium removal. In summary, the results clearly showed that the DPEFB biowaste seems to be an efficient, economic and eco-friendly biosorbent for sustainable removal of toxic hexavalent chromium ions from domestic and industrial wastewater streams.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 27:27330-27344. [PMID: 31332685 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-019-05942-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2019] [Accepted: 07/11/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
This study evaluated Cr(VI) biosorption by a halotolerant gram-negative bacterium Halomonas sp. DK4 isolated from chrome electroplating sludge. The bacterium could withstand high concentrations of Cr(VI) exhibiting a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 250 mg/L. Plackett-Burman design confirmed glucose, KH2PO4, NaCl, inoculum size, and initial Cr(VI) concentration as significant variables influencing the Cr(VI) removal ability of the bacterium. The suspended culture of Halomonas sp. DK4 was able to remove 81% (100 mg/L) of Cr(VI) in optimized MSM medium from aqueous solutions within 48 h. The bacterium also removed 59% Cr(VI) in the presence of 15% NaCl concentration within 72 h. The main mechanism involved in Cr(VI) removal by Halomonas sp. DK4 was determined to be biosorption which was best explained using the Langmuir isotherm model, wherein the maximum adsorption of 150.7 mg/g was observed under equilibrium conditions. Kinetic studies reveal that chemisorption of Cr(VI) by Halomonas sp. DK4 was a rate-limiting process which followed pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 = 0.99). Bacterial biomass exhibited maximum adsorption of 70.3% Cr(VI) at an initial concentration of 100 mg/L under optimal conditions. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed the presence of hydroxyl, carboxyl, amide, and phosphate groups on the bacterial surface which may be involved in Cr(VI) adsorption. Scanning electron microscopy coupled energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) analysis revealed morphological changes in the bacterial cell and accumulation of Cr(VI) on the cell surface. These results suggest the potential application of Halomonas sp. DK4 in the removal of Cr(VI) from saline chromium-containing industrial wastewaters.

Megamerger of biosorbents and catalytic technologies for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater: Preparation, final disposal, mechanism and influencing factors. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2020; 261:109879.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution, because of its high toxicity, non-biodegradability and biological enrichment, has been identified as a global aquatic ecosystems threat in recent decades. Due to the high efficiency, low cost, satisfactory recyclability, easy storage and separation, biosorbents have exhibited a promising prospect for heavy metals treatment in aqueous phase. This article comprehensively summarized different types of biosorbents derived from available low-cost raw materials such as agricultural and forestry wastes. The raw materials obtained are treated with conventional pretreatment or novel methods, which can greatly enhance the adsorption performance of the biosorbents. The suitable immobilization methods can not only further enhance the adsorption performance of the biosorbents, but also facilitate the process of separating the biosorbents from the wastewater. In addition, once biosorbents are put into large-scale use, the final disposal problems cannot be avoided. Therefore, it is necessary to review the currently accepted final disposal methods of biosorbents. Moreover, through the analysis of the adsorption and desorption mechanisms of biosorbents, it is not only beneficial to find the better methods to improve the adsorption performance of the biosorbents, but also better to explain the influencing factors of adsorption effect for biosorbents. Especially, different from many researches focused on biosorbents, this work highlighted the combination of biosorbents with catalytic technologies, which provided new ideas for the follow-up research direction of biosorbents. Finally, the purpose of this paper is to inject new impetus into the future development of biosorbents.

Abstract
In this work, a biological engineering-based biosilica-yeast hybrid material was developed. It was obtained by the aggregation of Yarrowia lipolytica through biosilicification catalyzed using genetically displayed silicatein on its cell surface. With orthosilicate or seawater as the substrate, the silicatein-displayed yeast could aggregate into flocs with a flocculation efficiency of nearly 100%. The resulting floc was found to be a sheetlike biosilica-yeast hybrid material formed by the biosilica-mediated immobilization of yeast cells via cross-linking and embedding, turning the original hydrophilicity of yeast cells into hydrophobicity. In addition, this material was characterized to be porous with an average pore diameter of approximately 10 μm and porosity of over 70%. Because of these properties, this hybrid material could achieve enhanced removal efficiencies for chromium ions and n-hexadecane, which were both above 99%, as compared to the free cells of Y. lipolytica in aqueous environments. Importantly, this hybrid material could be recultivated to generate new batches of yeast cells that maintain parallel properties to the first generation so that the same hybrid material could be reproduced with unchanged highly efficient removal of chromium and n-hexadecane to those of the first generation, demonstrating that this biosilica-yeast hybrid material was living and renewable. This work presented a novel way of harnessing silicatein and Y. lipolytica to achieve biological synthesis of a living inorganic-organic hybrid material that has potential to be applied in water treatment.

Abstract
This study details the preparation of Fe-Mn binary oxide/mulberry stem biochar composite adsorbent (FM-MBC) from mulberry stems via the multiple activation by potassium permanganate, ferrous chloride, triethylenetetramine, and epichlorohydrin. The characteristics of FM-MBC had been characterized by SEM-EDS, BET, FT-IR, XRD, and XPS, and static adsorption batch experiments such as pH, adsorption time, were carried out to study the mechanism of Cr(VI) adsorption on FM-MBC and the impact factors. The results indicated that in contrast with the mulberry stem biochar (MBC), the FM-MBC has more porous on surface with a BET surface area of 74.73 m2/g, and the surface loaded with α-Fe2O3 and amorphization of MnO2 particles. Besides, carboxylic acid, hydroxyl, and carbonyls functional groups were also formed on the FM-MBC surface. At the optimal pH 2.0, the maximum adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) was calculated from the Langmuir model of 28.31, 31.02, and 37.14 mg/g at 25, 35, and 45 °C, respectively. The aromatic groups, carboxyls, and the hydroxyl groups were the mainly functional groups in the adsorption of Cr(VI). The mechanism of the adsorption process of FM-MBC for Cr(VI) mainly involves electrostatic interaction, surface adsorption of Cr(VI) on FM-MBC, and ion exchange.

Abstract
In the present study we are investigating the Cr(VI) reduction potential of a multi-metal tolerant fungus (isolate CR700); isolated from electroplating wastewater. Based on the ITS region sequencing, the isolate was identified as Trichoderma lixii isolate CR700 and able to tolerate As(2000 mg/L), Ni(1500 mg/L), Zn(1200 mg/L), Cu(1200 mg/L), Cr(1000 mg/L), and 100 mg/L of Pb and Cd evident from tolerance assay. Cr(VI) reduction experiment was conducted in Erlenmeyer flasks containing different concentration of Cr(VI) (0-200 mg/L) amended potato dextrose broth medium followed by inoculating with a disk (0.5 cm diameter) of 7 days grown isolate CR700, and achieved a maximum of 99.4% within 120 h at 50 mg/L of Cr(VI). However, the accumulation of total Cr by isolate CR700 was 2.12 ± 0.15 mg/g of dried biomass at the same concentration after 144 h of exposure. Isolate CR700 showed the capability to reduce Cr(VI) at different physicochemical stress conditions such as pH, temperature, heavy metals, metabolic inhibitor and also in tannery wastewater. Fungus exhibited multifarious morphological and biochemical response under the exposure of Cr(VI); the scanning electron microscopic analysis revealed that Cr(VI) treated mycelia of isolate CR700 comparatively irregular, aggregated and swelled than without treated mycelia which might be due to the tolerance mechanism and vacuolar compartmentation of chromium. Moreover, energy dispersive spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis exposed the Cr(III) precipitation on the mycelia surface of isolate CR700 and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic analysis suggested the contribution of the protein associated functional group in the complexation of Cr(VI). The phytotoxicity test of fungal treated 100 mg/L of Cr(VI) supernatant on Vigna radiata and Cicer arietinum revealed the successful detoxification/remediation of Cr(VI).

Abstract
In this study, two novel low water-soluble sericin and alginate-based biosorbents were successfully developed for precious metal removal from wastewater: sericin and alginate particles chemically crosslinked by proantocyanidins (SAPAs) and sericin, alginate and polyvinyl alcohol particles (SAPVA). The proportions of proantocynidins (PAs) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) added to sericin (2.5% w/v) and alginate (2.0% w/v) blend were 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5% w/v. Among these concentrations, particles produced with 0.5% w/v of PVA or 2.5% w/v of PAs presented the lowest water solubility percentages (3.74 ± 0.05 and 3.56 ± 0.21%, respectively) and the following metallic affinity order: AuCl4- > PdCl42- > PtCl62- > Ag+. Then, gold biosorption kinetics by SAPAs was evaluated at three gold initial concentrations (72.88, 187.12, and 273.79 mg/L), and its performance was compared to activated carbon adsorbent uptake. The data modeling revealed that the process follows pseudo-first-order kinetics and is mainly controlled by external diffusion. SAPAs before and after gold biosorption (SAPAs-gold) were characterized by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, optical microscopy, helium pycnometry, mercury porosimetry, N2 physisorption, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.

Abstract
Pistia stratiotes is a common aquatic plant of the northern region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, and its use as adsorbent material was studied in the present work. The preparation process included washing, drying, grinding, and acid activation. The sorption potential for removal of the indigo carmine dye from aqueous solutions was tested under various conditions, such as initial concentration, contact time, and temperature. The tests showed that the obtained biosorbent showed good performance for dye removal with a maximum capacity of 41.2 mg/g. The kinetic studies revealed that the pseudo-second-order equation provided the best fit of the experimental data. The Freundlich isotherm provided the best fit of the experimental sorption data for the system under study. The results obtained show that Pistia stratiotes has great potential to be used as biosorbent for the removal of dyes from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The remotion of hexavalent chromium in the form of chromate in aqueous solution was done using the aquatic plant Salvinia sp as biosorbent. The chemical modification of the Salvinia surface was performed by organosolv adapted method. The untreated Salvinia and the modified were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, Boehm titration, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive system, point of zero charge, surface area analysis, and porosity. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to observe the effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration, and temperature on the metal removal process. The characterization results show the chemistry modifically changed the modified Salvinia structure compared with untreated Salvinia. The adsorption test results showed the maximum adsorption capacity of 26.03 mg g-1. The kinetic equilibrium was reached in about 3 h, and the better temperature and pH were 298 K and 7, respectively. The adsorption and kinetic models were Freundlich and pseud-second order, respectively. This study showed the Salvinia sp after the chemical treatment can be used with biosorbent for hexavalent chromate in the form of chromate, being a natural material with low cost and plentiful in the environment.

Abstract
This research was conducted to evaluate the methylene blue dye adsorption by piaçava fibers. The effects of adsorbent amount, pH, kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics were analyzed, as well as the adsorbent performance in the treatment of synthetic textile effluents. The adsorbent characterization was also performed. Experimental kinetic data were fitted with pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich models. The equilibrium tests were done at 298, 308, and 318 K, and the models of Freundlich, Langmuir, Redlich-Peterson, and Sips were used. The adsorption was favored using 0.025 g of adsorbent, pH 10, and 318 K. The Elovich model provided better fit to kinetic data. The equilibrium experimental points were well represented by the Sips model. The maximum experimental adsorption capacity of methylene blue dye was 427.3 mg g-1. It was verified a spontaneous, favorable, and endothermic adsorption. Piaçava fiber was a promising low-cost material to be used for color removal in effluents containing methylene blue.

Abstract
Pollution caused by heavy metals is a prime concern due to its impact on human health, animals, and ecosystems. Cr(VI), generated in a range of different industries as a liquid effluent, is one of the most frequent contaminants. In the work presented herein, the adsorption efficiency of three species of native yeasts from Ecuador (Kazachstania yasuniensis, Kodamaea transpacifica, and Saturnispora quitensis) for Cr(VI) removal from simulated wastewater was assessed, taking Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a reference. After disruption of the flocs of yeast with a cationic surfactant, adsorption capacity, kinetics, and biosorption isotherms were studied. K. transpacifica isolate was found to feature the highest efficiency among the four yeasts tested, as a result of its advantageous combination of surface charge, individual cell size (4.04 μm), and surface area (1588.27 m2/L). The performance of S. quitensis was only slightly lower. The remarkable biosorption capacities of these two isolates (476.19 and 416.67 mg of Cr(VI)/g of yeast, respectively) evidence the potential of non-conventional yeast species as sorption microbial particles for polluted water remediation.

Abstract
Biological materials play a significant role in the treatment of heavy metal-contaminated soil and wastewater. In this study, the Pb2+ biosorption potential of lichen Evernia prunastri, extensively available at a forest in Bilecik-Turkey, was investigated at batch-scale level. The optimal conditions were determined and the adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamic calculations were also done. In order to have detailed knowledge about metal biosorption, SEM, FTIR, and BET analyses were carried out before and after the biosorption process. The optimal pH was found pH 4 and the maximum metal uptake capacity was found as 0.067 mol kg-1. The results of this study indicate that the lichen was effectively applied to the removal of Pb2+ process as an inexpensive biosorbent from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Excessive industrialization and anthropogenic activities have resulted in widespread prevalence of heavy metals including hexavalent chromium in the environment. In addition to toxic properties, Cr(VI) possesses high stability and mobility, which in total makes it included in the list of priority heavy metals; thus it needs to be managed urgently. Among different methods available for remediation of Cr(VI), bioremediation is considered as one of the sustainable methods which could effectively be utilized for controlling Cr(VI) pollution. In this aspect, the treatment of Cr(VI)-containing wastewater originating from industries is noteworthy. The present review thus is an attempt to present a systematic overview dealing with studies on remediation of hexavalent chromium by using microorganisms and their application in treatment of Cr(VI)-containing industrial wastewaters. Various factors affecting the Cr(VI) removal and methods to enhance the bio-treatment are highlighted, which might act as a basis for researchers developing Cr(VI) bioremediation techniques.

Abstract
Biosorption is a cost-effective and simple technique for removing heavy metals and rare earth elements from aqueous solution. Here, metals were recovered from aqueous solutions using phosphorylated dry baker’s yeast cells. The cells were phosphorylated using cyclo-triphosphate, Na3P3O9. The total P content of the phosphorylated cells was ~1.0 mmol/g dry cell weight (DCW). The zeta potential of the phosphorylated cells was −45 mV, two times higher than for the non-phosphorylated cells. The strong negative charges of the phosphorylated cells allowed the cells to adsorb heavy metal ions such as Cd2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+, the adsorption capacities of which reached ~1.0 mmol/g DCW. This adsorption capacity was the highest level found in the previous studies using yeast dead biomass. The adsorbed metal ions were easily desorbed in 0.1 M HCl. The phosphorylated cells also adsorbed rare earth ions including Ce3+, Dy3+, Gd3+, La3+, Nd3+, Y3+, and Yb3+ with high efficiency. Furthermore, the phosphorylated yeast cells selectively adsorbed the rare earth ions (Nd3+ and Yb3+) from a solution containing heavy metals and rare earth ions because trivalent positively charged ions were adsorbed preferentially over divalent ions. Thus, phosphorylated yeast cells therefore have great potential for use as novel bioadsorbents. It is also expected that this technique can be applied to many microbial materials as well as yeast.
