The uptake of copper from aqueous solution by immobilized fungal biomass
Abstract
The removal of cupric ions from aqueous solution by a biosorption column in which the Rhizopus arrhizus fungal biomass was immobilized in reticulated foam biomass support particles was studied. Solution pH was found to be crucial to copper uptake, with the optimum range being 6·7–7·0. The removal efficiency was usually higher at low influent copper concentration and long residence time. The presence of other cations and anions inhibited copper uptake in the following order: for the cations, Mn 2+ ≫ Zn 2+ > Cd 2+ > Mg 2+ > Ca 2+; for the anions, EDTA ≫ SO ≫ Cl−. The biosorption process was fully reversible and regenerated columns showed undiminished performance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
