| dc.description.abstract | This study focused on biosorption of Chromium using Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis. The study was performed by varying the parameters that determine the efficiency of biosorption, i.e. pH, biomass concentration, metal concentration, temperature and contact time. The results obtained shows that higher percentage of Chromium biosorption was recorded with Bacillus subtilis. The optimum value for each of the parameters was obtained in the following order; for pH, optimum value was 4.0, with highest biosorption percentage of 80.6 and 86.7% for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis respectively. Highest biosorption percentage of 83.0 and 86.7% were recorded at concentration of 2ml for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis respectively for biomass concentration. Chromium concentration produced 73.6 and 86.7% highest biosorption at 5ppm for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis respectively. Temperature showed highest biosorption of 83.0 and 86.7% at 37oC for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis respectively. Contact time was also varied and found to have been optimum in Chromium biosorption 14th day with sorption of 73.3 and 86.7% for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis respectively. The result shows the efficacy of biosorption of Chromium by the isolated organisms (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis) in bioremediation of Chromium polluted water, thus, is suitable for future application. | |
