Insight into Biosoprtion Equilibrium, Kinetics and Thermodynamics Studies of Atrazine on to Pichia Kudriavzevii Atz-EN-01 and Cryptococcus laurentii Atz-EN-02

摘要

ABSTRACT This study deals with the biosorption potential of two dead yeast viz Pichia kudriavzevii Atz-EN-01 and Cryptococcus laurentii Atz-EN-02 for atrazine removal from aqueous solution. The influence of operational parameters viz solution pH, biomass dosage, temperature, initial atrazine concentration and contact time on atrazine biosorption were studied in batch experiments. Isotherm models, kinetic models and thermodynamic parameters were analyzed to describe the adsorptive behaviour of t.
