Abstract
It was investigated the biosorption performances of copper by the immobilized biomass of nonliving marine brown alge h. fusiformis by each of the Ca-alginate method(Ca-ALG), Ba-alginate method(Ba-ALG), polyethylene glycol method(PEG), and carrageenan method (CARR). The copper removal performance increased but the copper uptake decreased as the biomass amount was increased. However, the copper uptake by the immobilized biomass increased with increasing initial copper concentration. The copper uptake by the immobilized biomass of the immobilization method decreased in the following sequence; Ca-ALG>Ba-ALG>PEG>CARR among the immoblization emthods. The copper uptake by the immobilized biomass followed the Langmuir isotherm better than the Freundlich isotherm.
제주도 근해에서 다량 채취되고 있는 해양갈조류인 톳의 살아있지 않은 건조한 생물질을 Ca-alginate법(Ca-ALG), Ba-alginate법(Ba-ALG), polyethylene glycol법(PEG), $\kappa$-carrageenan법(CARR) 등으로 고정화시켜 고정화방법에 따른 Cu의 흡착기능을 검토하였다. 생물질의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라서 Cu의 제거율은 증가하였으나 흡착량은 감소하였다. 그러나 초기농도가 증가함에 따라서는 cu의 흡착량이 증가하였다. 고정화법에 따른 Cu의 흡착량은 Ca-ALG>Ba-ALG>PEG>CARR순으로 감소하엿다. 고정화된 생물질에 으한 Cu의 흡착은 Freundlich 흡착 등온식 보다는 Langmuir 흡착 등온식을 잘 따름을 알 수 있었다.
