본 연구는 조류 Chlorella pyrenoidosa에 의한 Pb 흡착시 고정화 방법이 흡착특성에 미치는 영향에 관한 것으로, 고정화는 Ca-alginate, K-carrageenan, and polyacrylamide를 이용하여 실시하였다. 연구결과, 고정화에 따라 흡착평형 도달시간의 지연이 나타났으며, Pb의 최대 흡착능(mg/g)은 중금속 농도와 pH가 높을수록, 고정체 투입량이 적을수록 높게 나타났다. 고정화 방법별 흡착능은 Ca-alginate로 고정화한 경우 가장 높은 흡착능을 나타낸 반면, 흡착량이 pH에 가장 민감하게 영향을 받았다. Pb 흡착현상은 Freundlich 등온흡착식에 의해 잘 해석되었고, 흡착속도는 2차 모형식을 따르는 것으로 나타났다. FT-IR분석으로 Chlorella pyrenoidosa에 의한 Pb의 생물흡착 메커니즘이 주로 carbo-acid와 amide 그룹에 Pb가 결합되어 일어남을 알 수 있었다. 흡착된 Pb의 탈착은 탈착제 농도가 높을수록 탈착 효율도 높았다. 실험에 사용되어진 여러 탈착제(NTA, HCl, EDTA, $H_2SO_4,;Na_2CO_3$)중 Ca-alginate과 K-carrageenan로 고정화한 경우 NTA가 가장 높게 나타났으며, polyacrylamide로 고정한 경우 EDTA를 사용한 경우 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 고정화 방법별 최대 탈착효율은 각각 90.0, 83.0, 80.0% 이었다.
In this studies, the adsorption test using Chlorella pyrenoidosa was conducted to examine the effect of Pb adsorption according to various immobilized methods such as Ca-alginate, K-carrageenan, and Polyacrylamide. From the results, the duration to need to reach adsorption equilibrium was delayed according to the immobilization. And, the higher adsorption capacity of immobilized Chlorella pyrenoidosa was represented in the higher concentration of Pb, the smaller amount of immobilizing agent, and the higher pH of solution. The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb was shown in the adsorption test using Chlorella pyrenoidosa immobilized with Ca-alginate even though it was sensitive pH. The adsorption results properly represented with Freundlich isotherm equations. And, pseudo second-order chemisorption kinetic rate equation was applicable to all the biosorption data over the entire time range. The FT-IR analysis showed that the mechanism involved in biosorption of Pb by Chlorella pyrenoidosa was mainly attributed to Pb binding of carbo-acid and amide group. Adsorbed Pb on immobilized Chlorella prenoidosa was easily desorbed in the higher concentration of desorbents(NTA, HCl, EDTA, $H_2SO_4,;Na_2CO_3$). Among the several desorbents, NTA showed the maximum desoption capacities of Pb from Chlorella pyrenoidosa immobilized with Ca-alginate and K-carrageenan and EDTA was the most effective in Chlorella pyrenoidosa immobilized with polyacrylamide. The desoprtion efficiency in the optimum condition was 90.0, 83.0, and 80.0%, respectively.
