| Abstract |
Although biosorption for reclaiming single precious metal was frequently reported, the actual subsistent adsorptive competition among different metal ions sometimes shows diverging reinforcement or prohibition for different species. This study tries to screen bacteria that are able to absorb certain precious metals with high selectivity under competitive conditions. The activated sludge was cultivated from enrichment by magnetotactic bacteria medium proposed by Blakemore. Then four microbes, microaerobic bacteria(A) acclimated micro-aerobic bacteria (B), anaerobic bacteria(C) and acclimated anaerobic bacteria(D) were obtained for the following adsorption experiments. The four microbes have high removal efficiency of Au3+ both in its unitary and Au3+-Cu2+ binary system. The microaerobic bacteria (B) are good metal catchers and carriers for the uptake of gold in aquatic solution with coexistence of copper. In Pd2+-Cu2+ system, there is a collaborative adsorption effect, especially on (B). |
