description | Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the capacity and mechanisms for adsorbing Cd 2+ from aqueous solutions by the composite material. The composite material was manufactured with Plesiomonas shigelloides strain H5 and modified polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber. Experimental results showed that the surface areas of modified polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber increased by 58.54% and pore width increased by 40.19% compared with unmodified polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber. Boehm’s titration results show the surface acid sites of composite material were increased by 712% compared with unmodified polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber. The field emission scanning electron microscope results show P. shigelloides H5 can be grown on the surface of modified polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber closely. The equilibrium removal rate and sorption quantity of composite material were 71.56% and 7.126 mg g −1 , respectively. With the pH value of aqueous solution increased, the removal rate of Cd 2+ ions was also increased, but the change of temperature and ionic strength had no significant effect on the removal rate. Furthermore, the results showed the whole sorption process was a good fit to Lagergren pseudo-second-order model and Freundlich isotherms model. Therefore, the results infer that there was a heterogeneous distribution of active sites, and then the sorption process was chemical adsorption and multilayer adsorption. In a word, microbial composite carbon fiber material can adsorb Cd 2+ ions from aqueous solution effectively, which might be helpful in wastewater treatment in the future. |
