dc.description.abstract Zn2+ ion adsorption studies were carried out using a biomass of Penicillium sp. The percentage adsorption increased with increasing pH and the amount of biomass and showed a reverse trend with temperature and initial Zn2+ concentration. The adsorption kinetics were initially fast then slow. The initial faster rate corresponds to around 70% of the total adsorption. The activation energy was found to be 8.4 kJ/mol, which corresponds to a diffusion-controlled mechanism.
