Abstract:
Heavy metal pollution is one of the most important environmental problems today. Thus, metal brings serious environmental pollution, threatening human health and ecosystem. In recent years, applying biotechnologies removing metal pollution became hot topic because of its potential application. Alternative process is biosorption, which utilizes various natural materials, including, yeast. The yeast biomass has been successfully used as biosorbent for removal of Ag, Au, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, U, Th and Zn from aqueous solution. Yeasts of genera Saccharomyces are efficient biosorbents for heavy metal ions.
The aim of this project is to study the potential of the by-product brewer’s yeast (Saccharomices cerevisae) in biosorbing some heavy metals or precious metals from waste waters. The main objectives of the project are:
Objective 1: Studies regarding the potential of non-living brewer’ yeast cells in biosorbing copper, zincum, lead and gold from waste waters resulted from various industries with respect to pH, biosorbent dose and contact time. The metals concentrations and the percentage of removal will be quantified in waste water before, after biosorption and desorption process .
Objective 2: The experiments will be carried out on living brewer's yeast cells and it consists in testing the capacity of living cells to remove metals ions from waste waters in the same conditions like non-living cells, to compare and identify the differences between their potential.
