The effect of microflocculant MBFA9 and the mechanism of Pb(II) and Zn(II) removal from an aqueous solution

The removal mechanism of a microbial flocculant produced using a novel Paenibacillus sp. strain A9 (MBFA9) for two heavy metal ions, lead and zinc, from an aqueous solution is studied and compared. The removal rate of Pb(II) or Zn(II) by MBFA9 increased with an increase in the pH when the pH was les...
