In this study, the bioadsorption of Zn2+ ions in an assumed aqueous solution by the dry biomass of S. platensis TH was investigated. The Zn2+ ion adsorption of biomaterials was evaluated under different conditions, including pH, contact time, temperature, and adsorbent mass. The optimal Zn2+ ion removal efficiency reached 90.32 ± 0.29% at Zn2+ ion concentration of 100 mg/L, pH 5.0, a temperature of 26oC, and a dry biomass dose of 1.5 g/L for 90 min. Langmuir and Freundlich's isothermal models were used to describe the adsorption isotherm of Zn2+ ions on S. platensis TH. Equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model as well as the Freundlich model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 34.56 mg Zn2+/g S. platensis TH under the reaction conditions of 1.5 g/L biomass dosage, the contact time of 90 min, pH 5.0, at 26oC.
