Abstract:
This study evaluated U(VI) biosorption properties by the resistant bacterium, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, which was isolated from the soils with residual radionuclides. The effect of biosorption factors (uptake time, pH, ionic concentration, biosorbent dosage and temperature) on U(VI) removal was determined by batch experiments. The uptake processes were characterized by using SEM, FTIR, and XPS. The experimental data of U(VI) biosorption were fitted by the pseudo-second-order. The maximum uptake capacity was 179.5 mg/g at pH 6.0 by Langmuir model. The thermodynamic results: ΔGо, ΔHо and ΔSо for uptake processes were calculated as -6.359 kJ/mol, 14.20 kJ/mol and 67.19 J/mol/K, respectively. The results showed that the biosorption of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens will be an ideal method to remove radionuclides.
