Abstract
Heavy metals are persistent contaminants in wastewater due to their nonbiodegradable nature and their ability to accumulate in ecosystems. Biosorption technologies, which utilize biological materials such as microorganisms, plant parts, and natural polymers, have emerged as effective methods for removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions. This study evaluates the biosorption potential of various natural biomaterials originating from Serbia-specifically sawdust, wool, and oak galls-for the removal of Cu²⁺ and Co²⁺ ions from water. The examined biomaterials exhibit potential for the remediation of Cu²⁺ and Co²⁺ ions, with oak galls demonstrating the highest biosorption capacity among the tested materials.
Sažetak
Teški metali predstavljaju značajne kontaminante otpadnih voda zbog svoje nebiorazgradive prirode i trajne sposobnosti da se akumuliraju u ekosistemima. Tehnologije bioadsorpcije, koje koriste biološke materijale kao što su mikroorganizmi, delovi biljaka i prirodni polimeri, predstavljaju efikasne metode za uklanjanje teških metala iz vodenih rastvora. Ova studija istražuje potencijal različitih prirodnih biomaterijala, poreklom iz Srbije, piljevinu, vunu i hrastovu galu za biosorpciju Cu²⁺ i Co²⁺ jona iz vodenih rastvora. Rezultati pokazuju da svi ispitani materijali imaju potencijal za remedijaciju Cu²⁺ i Co²⁺ jona, pri čemu hrastova gala demonstrira najveći kapacitet biosorpcije među analiziranim uzorcima.
