Abstract

Ca-pretreated Cystoseira indica algae was used as a biosorbent for the biosorption of U(VI) and Fe(II) ions in single, binary and multi-component systems by using a packed bed column. Experiments were conducted to study the effect of important design parameters such as bed height and flow rate. FTIR and XRF analyses and pH and Ca2+ ion concentration recordings showed that the biosorption of U(VI) and Fe(II) proceeded through ion-exchange mechanism. BDST, Thomas and Modified dose-response models were used for predicting breakthrough curves and for estimations of the parameters necessary for the design of a large-scale packed bed column.
