Abstract

Thirty-eight soil samples were collected from crude oil contaminated land in south of Iran. Initial screening of a total of 100 bacterial isolates, resulted in the selection of one isolate with maximum adsorption capacity of 52.7 mg vanadate/g dry weight. It was tentatively identified as Halomonas sp. according to morphological and biochemical properties and named strain GT-83. Removal of vanadate by biosorption with Halomonas sp. GT-83 was very sensitive to solution pH. Vanadate adsorption decreased with increasing pH, with maximum adsorption capacities achieved in at pH 3.0 in the absence and in the presence of increasing concentrations of salt. Vanadate-salt biosorption studies were also performed at this pH value. Equilibrium uptakes of vanadate increased with increasing vanadate concentration up to 600 mg/l. Maximum metal removal (91.8%) took place at pH 3.0 with initial vanadate concentration of 100mg/l, which got reduced (84.8%) in the presence of 50 g/l salt. The equilibrium sorption data were analyzed by using Freundlich isotherm. The specific uptake of vanadate increased at low cell concentration and decreased when cell concentration exceeded 0.75 g/l. The paper also demonstrates the potential value of micro-PIXE in b...Continue Reading
