based on the adsorption of aerobic granular sludge and the chelating action of phosphate on heavy metals
phosphate containing biological phosphorus removal granular sludge was used as adsorbent to treat Pb2+ containing wastewater
and the removal efficiency of Pb2+ by granular sludge under different adsorption conditions was investigated. The results showed that the highest removal efficiency of Pb2+ (up to 99.9%) was achieved under the optimal adsorption conditions (pH=4 and the initial concentration of Pb2+ 150 mg·L-1)
and the adsorption equilibrium reached in 20 min. The adsorption of Pb2+ by biological phosphorus removal granular sludge can be described by Langmuir model. The correlation coefficient R2 was 0.993
and the maximum adsorption quantity was about 49.5 mg·g-1. Ion exchange and chelation of phosphate with Pb2+ played a significant role in the removal of Pb2+ by using the phosphorus removal granular sludge. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated that a variety of functional groups such as -COOH
-OH and phosphoryl were involved in the removal of Pb2+ by phosphorus removal granular sludge.
