Abstract
The biosorbent chosen for the biosorption of Cr (III) from Model Tanning Effluent is Penicillium species. The work described involves revitalization of fungus and analyzing its growth, estimation of metabolite generated (citric acid), influence of different media constituents on growth, adaptation of fungus on various Cr(III) salts along with optimization of different parameters of biosorption like pH, initial metal ion concentration, effect of competing ions, effect of particle size, variation in S/L ratio and effect of pretreatment of biomass.
