The effect of pH and biomass concentration on cadmium (Cd) uptake by saccharomyces cerevisiae from simulated waste water
The contamination of wastewaters, river sediments and soil with toxic metals, is a complex problem. The removal of these contaminations has received much attention in recent years using conventional methods such as chemical reduction, ion exchange, and electrochemical treatment. The alternative meth...

The contamination of wastewaters, river sediments and soil with toxic metals, is a complex problem.

The alternative method is discovered which is biosorption, refers to a physico-chemical binding of metal ions to biomass. Microorganisms like bacteria, yeast and fungi as well as algae can accumulate large amounts of heavy metal ions. Biosorption is considered to be a fast physical or chemical process. The biosorption rate depends on the type of the process. The biosorption of cadmium ions from artificial aqueous solutions using baker's yeast biomass is investigated. The major purpose of this research is to study the effect of pH and biomass concentration on cadmium uptake by Saccharomyces cerevisiae from simulated waste water.
