Abstract

In this study, magnetic biosorbent was fabricated by chemical co-precipitation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) on the surface Paeclomyces catenlannulatus (P. catenlannulatus) by adding NaOH solution under N2 conditions. The influence of water chemistries (i. e. pH, reaction time, temperature, concentration and ionic strength) on Eu(III) biosorption towards magnetic biosorbent was elucidated by batch technique. The batch experiment showed that Eu(III) biosorption on magnetic biosorbent was independent of ionic strength, suggesting that inner-sphere-surface-complexation predominated Eu(III) biosorption. The biosorption kinetics showed the sorption equilibrium was achieved at reaction time of 24 h, and the maximum biosorption capacity of Eu(III) on magnetic biosorbent calculated by Langmuir model was 69.45 mg/g at pH 3.5 and 298 K. The regeneration experiments showed the slight decrease of biosorption capacity after the fifth recycles. These results suggested that this magnetic biosorbent presented the fast biosorption rate and high biosorption capacity for Eu(III). The results of XPS analysis revealed that various oxygenated function groups (e.g. carboxyl, hydroxyl groups) were responsible for the high effective biosorption of Eu(III). These findings manifested that this magnetic biosorbent could be as a high-effective material for the immobilization and pre-concentration of radionuclides from aqueous solution in environment remediation.
