Abstract

Biosorption of Pb and Cr to Sargassum sagamianum was evaluated in the various conditions. An adsorption equilibrium was reached in about 15 min. for Pb and Cr. The uptake capacity was 224.5 mg Pb/g biomass and 77.5 mg Cr/g biomass, respectively. The adsorption parameters for Pb and Cr were determined according to Langmuir and Freundlich model. Biosorption of Pb and Cr was increased with an increase in pH value. Pb and Cr adsorbed by S. sagamianum could be recovered by desorption process with 0.1M HCl, 0.1M $HNO_3$ and 0.1M EDTA and the efficiency of Pb desorption was above $90\%$, whereas the efficiency of Cr desorption was below $51\%$.

우리나라 인근 해역에서 가장 쉽게 채취할 수 있는 해조류 중의 하나인 S. sagamianum을 이용한 Pb 및 Cr의 생체흡착 실험을 수행하였다. Pb 및 Cr은 15분 안에 흡착 평형에 도달하였으며, 평형흡착량은 각각 224.5mg Pb/g biomass 및 77.5mg Cr/g bio-mass로서 Pb의 흡착량이 Cr보다 약 3배정도 높았다. 또한 pH가 감소할수록 Pb 및 Cr의 홉착량은 감소하였으나 Pb가 상대적으로 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. Pb, Cr, Cu 및 Cd 혼합용액에서는 Pb>Cu>Cr>Cd 순으로 흡착하였으며, Pb 및 Cr 이온이동량 존재하는 용액에서의 흡착은 거의 1 : 1로 흡착이 이루어졌다. Pb 및 Cr흡착 후에 0.1 M HCl, 0.1 M $HNO_3$ 및 0.1 M EDTA으로 탈착 실험을 수행하니, Pb는 의 경우에는 $95\%$이상 탈착되었으나 Cr의 경우 S. sagamianum와의 결합력이 상대적으로 강하여 탈착율이 $51\%$이하로 낮았다.
