Anabaena flos-aquae, a typical species of cyanobacterial bloom, was employed as a useful biosorbent for uranium removal. Batch experiments were conducted to examine the effects of different parameters on the uranium uptake amount of Anabaena flos-aquae. The maximum adsorption capacity of 196.4 mg/g was obtained under the optimized experimental conditions. The calculations of kinetic and thermodynamic results proved the adsorption process was endothermic, chemisorption, and spontaneous. The adsorption of uranium onto Anabaena flos-aquae was better defined by the Langmuir model, which indicated the process was a monolayer sorption. In addition, the characterization of the biosorbent before and after uranium sorption implied that the dominant functional groups participated in the uranium adsorption process were hydroxyl, amino, and carboxyl. In conclusion, the environmentally friendly and biocompatible characteristics of Anabaena flos-aquae suggest that it can be a promising biosorbent for uranium removal.

D000458 Cyanobacteria A phylum of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria comprised of unicellular to multicellular bacteria possessing CHLOROPHYLL a and carrying out oxygenic PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Cyanobacteria are the only known organisms capable of fixing both CARBON DIOXIDE (in the presence of light) and NITROGEN. Cell morphology can include nitrogen-fixing heterocysts and/or resting cells called akinetes. Formerly called blue-green algae, cyanobacteria were traditionally treated as ALGAE.
