  • Abstract
    The effect of the presence of Pb on the biosorption efficiency of Cu, Cd and Zn by activated sludge was investigated. To evaluate the two-metal sorption system efficiency, simple isotherm curves had to be replaced by three-dimensional sorption isotherm surfaces. In order to describe the isotherm surfaces mathematically, three Langmuir-type models were evaluated. The isotherms indicated a competitive uptake of the different metals with Pb that was preferentially adsorbed.
