초록

Biological desulfurization processes of landfill gas yield an enormous amount of biologically produced S (BPS) as a byproduct. Capability of BPS to remove Cd2+ from aqueous solutions was tested and its removal efficiency was compared to that of granular activated carbon (GAC). Kinetics of Cd2+ removal by BPS was a two-stage process with an initial rapid adsorption showing 45% of initial Cd2+ was removed within 5 min, followed by a slower adsorption. Cadmium adsorption onto the BPS fitted the Langmuir isotherm model and maximum adsorption capacity of the BPS (63.3 mg g-1) was 1.8 times higher than that of GAC (36.1 mg g-1). Thermodynamic parameters showed that Cd2+ adsorption by BPS was favorable and endothermic. Data from XPS proved the main adsorption mechanism to be complexation of Cd2+ with sulfides in the BPS. Results demonstrated that BPS can be recycled as a novel adsorbent for Cd2+ removal from wastewater.
