    Effect of chemical treatment of the biomass fongic on the capacity of adsorption of the chromium
    (European Journal of Scientific Research, 2006) Sahmoune, Mohamed Nasser; Louhab, K.; Addad, J.; Goma, B.
    Heavy metals are present in different types of industrial effluent, being responsable for environmental pollution. Biosorption by the biomass fungic is a promising alternative method to treat industrial effluents, mainly because of its low cost and high metal binding capacity. In this paper we studied the effect of treatment at different concentration NaOH of the biomass fungic on the caracteristics of the biomass (morphology of the fungic biomass), and the capacity of adsorption of chromium. The analysis of the thermodynamic, the kinetics of adsorption, the spectra of infra-red spectra and the electron micrographs of the M.E.B. watch that these treatments, although resulting in apreciable weight reduction, also enhanced their capacity adsorption for chromium, while increasing the sorption kinetics. © EuroJournals Publishing, Inc. 2006

    Thermodynamic of chromium sorption on biomass fungi from aqueous solution
    (2006) Louhab, K.; Addad, J.; Barr, S.; Goma, B.
    The thermodynamics of chromium ions sorption from aqueous solution on biomass fungi have been investigated. The experimental data was analysed by Langmiur and Scatchard isotherms. The equilibrium sorption capacity of chromium ions was determined from Langmiur and Scatchard equation at different temperature. Bad correlation coefficients were obtained for the Langmiur adsorption equilibrium constant. Various thermodynamics parameters, Δ H°ads, Δ S°ads and equilibrium constant values were computed at different temperature. The results show that the sorption of the chromium ions on biomass fungi is spontaneous and exothermic nature process, the thermodynamics parameters are dependent of the temperature and the equilibrium sorption capacity
