چکیده

جذب­زیستی نیکل با زیست­توده غیرزنده، غیر فعال، میکروبی یا گیاهی یک فناوری جایگزین و نوآورانه برای حذف این آلودگی از محلول­های آبی است. این جاذب­های دارای قابلیت جذب و بازجذب بالایی می­باشند. در این مطالعه، با هدف معرفی انواع مختلف جاذب­های زیستی میکروبی و گیاهی به­منظور حذف نیکل از محلول آبی و آشکارسازی ظرفیت جذب هر جاذب، از مقالات منتشر شده بین سال­های 2001 تا 2020 استفاده شد. نتایج کارهای پژوهشی انجام شده برای مقایسه ظرفیت جذب جاذب­های میکروبی و گیاهی برای حذف نیکل از محلول آبی مورد استفاده قرار گرفت. مطالعات نشان داد که ظرفیت جذب پوست گریپ فروت با 95% نسبت به سایر مشتقات گیاهی مطلوب­تر است. Curtobacterium sp همچنین دارای 100% ظرفیت جذب در بین جاذب­های زیستی میکروبی است. پژوهش­ها نشان داد که استفاده از این زیست­توده­ها به­عنوان جاذب زیستی برای حذف نیکل در محلول آبی دارای چشم انداز امیدوار کننده و سازگار با محیط­زیست می­باشد.

چکیده [English]

Biological uptake nickel by living, inactive, microbial or plant-derived biomass is an alternative and innovative technology to remove this contaminat from aqueous solutions. It has high adsorbency and readsorption capacity. In this study, with the aim of introducing different types of microbial and plant-derived biological adsorbents in order to remove nickel from aqueous solution and revealing the adsorption capacity of each adsorbent, articles published between 2001 and 2020 were used. The results of research works performed were used to compare the adsorption capacity of microbial and plant-derived biosorbents to remove nickel from aqueous solution. Studies showed that the skin uptake capacity of grapefruit with 95% is more favorable than other plant derivatives. Curtobacterium sp also has the best performance with 100% adsorption capacity among microbial biosorbents. Research showed that the use of these biomasses, as a biological adsorbent, for the removal of nickel in aqueous solution is a promising and environmentally friendly prospect.
