Abstract

Industrial waste water contains abundant amount of heavy metals, therefore the treatment of heavy metals have gained importance. The effect of Dodecylthrimetylammonium bromide (DTAB) on biological treatment of heavy metal called Nickel by white rot fungus Trametes versicolor was examined in this study. In biosorption experiments, the effects of DTAB, pH and contact time on removal of Nickel by dried T. versicolor were investigated. The results of Nickel removal experiments showed that after 4 hours of incubation Nickel biosorption was 14.95% and 24.81% in the absence and peresence of DTAB, respectively. The addition of surfactant had contribution on metal biosorption. The results of research finding showed that the biolgical heavy metal treatment capacity of fungus was enhanced by using surfactants.
