AbstractNatural zeolitic tuff from Brus (Serbia) consisting mostly of clinoptilolite (about 90%) has been investigated for the reduction of the Mg concentration in spring water. The sorption capacity of the zeolite is relatively low (about 2.5 mg Mg g-1for the initial concentration of 100 mg Mg dm-3). The zeolitic tuff removes Mg from water solutions by ion exchange, which has been demonstrated by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS). The extent of ion exchange was influenced by the pH and the initial Mg concentration. Kinetic studies revealed that Lagergen's pseudo-second order model was followed. Intra-particle diffusion of Mg2+influenced the ion exchange, but it is not the rate-limiting step. Rather than having to dispose of the Mg-loaded (waste) zeolite, a possible application was tested. Addition to a wastewater with a low concentration of Mg showed that it could successfully make up for the lack of Mg micronutrient and, accordingly, enabled the growth of phosphate-accumulating bacteriaA. Junii, increasing the amount of phosphate removed from the wastewater.

In this study potential applicability of immobilised biomass of a wood-rotting dead macro-fungus Fomitopsis carnea are explored for the removal of the basic dye Alcian Blue. Effect of several parameters viz., temperature, pH and salt were studied in batch mode. In view of reutilization of the dye as well as the biosorbent, desorption/regeneration experiments were conducted. Desorption/regeneration studies could also be helpful in determining dye sorption mechanism. Studies indicate that the immobilized biosorbent could remove Alcian Blue efficiently. The experimental equilibrium data were modeled using the Langmuir equation. Dye uptake capacity of the biosorbent was observed to increase with rise in temperature and indicates chemisorption and/or ion exchange. The uptake was 11.1, 13.2, 16.4 and 24.2 mg/g at 10, 20, 30 and 40°C respectively. Higher removal of dye was also observed at higher pH. However, increased salt concentration from 0 mmol/L to 100 mmol/L reduced from 89 to 85%. Desorption of dye could be possible up to 51% using 0.1 M hydrochloric/acetic acids and thus suggests that ion-exchange and chemisorption could be the possible dye sorption mechanism.
