The Investigation of Ni (II) Removal by Biocomposite Synthesized with the Immobilization of Candida Utilis on Chitosan

Abstract

In this study, Ni(II) adsorption was examined with the biocomposite prepared with the immobilization of Candida utilis on chitosan polymer. The FTIR and SEM analyses of chitosan-Candida utilis biocomposite were carried out before and after adsorption of Ni (II) ions. For the Ni(II) adsorption by C. utilis immobilized on chitosan, the Ni(II) concentrations were changed in the concentration range of 10-100 mg/L. For the Ni(II) adsorption by C. utilis immobilized on chitosan, the optimum pH value was determined to be 4.0, and temperature was determined to be 25 0C. Under these experimental conditions, the maximum adsorbed amount of Ni(II) per unit weight of adsorbent was found to be 9.5 mg/g. The adsorption equilibrium data adjusted to the Langmuir isotherm model. The kinetic data were represented by the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy changes were found to be -4.61 kj/mol, 1.97 j/mol, -10.48 kj/mol, respectively. With respect to the results obtained in this study, new chitosan-Candida utilis biocomposites will become an alternative for the removal of heavy metals from wastewaters.
