The potential of heat inactivated Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the bioremoval and reduction
of Cr (VI) ions from wastewaters was evaluated in terms of metal uptake in time and at
equilibrium, and BIOSORPTION efficiency, by varying pH, biosorbent doses, contact time
and temperature, in batch mode. During the sorption process, the heat inactivated biomass
of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is capable of reducing Cr (VI) to Cr (III). Different
kinetic models based on adsorption and reduction are used to represent the kinetic data of …
