Abstract
The biosorption behaviors and mechanisms for Cu2+, Pb2+ and Cr6+ by a novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Arthrobacter ps-5 have been studied in the paper. The influences of EPS concentration, solution pH and ionic strength on adsorption property were investigated. The EPS showed strong biosorption capability, up to 169.15Â mg/g of Cu2+, 216.09Â mg/g of Pb2+ and 84.47Â mg/g of Cr6+, respectively. With the additional concentration of Ca2+ and K+ increased, the biosorption ability on Cu2+, Pb2+ and Cr6+ decreased significantly and followed the order of K+Â <Â Ca2+. Infrared spectrometry analysis demonstrated that the groups of OH, CO, COC and COC of the EPS involved in metal biosorption process were the main functional groups for binding metal ions.
