Notes:
Inactive cells of Rhizopus arrhizus have been immobilized into the form of particles of desirable particle size using a proprietary immobilization technique. The immobilized biomass particles are porous and are members of a new generation of biological origin adsorbents. The uranium adsorptive behavior of the biosorbent particles was modeled using a batch reactor mass transfer kinetic model of the biosorption process. The model successfully predicts the batch reactor adsorbate (uranium) concentration profiles and has provided significant insights on the way biosorbents function.
