Abstract
The present study aimed at the synthesis and characterization of new biosorbents by modifying the POBM (growth substrate of the macromycete Pleurotus ostreatus) using a commercial silica (DAVICAT 1452) in order to improve the absorbtion properties and the thermal, chemical and mechanical stability of the biosorbents which were presented in a previous study. In order to select the sorbent with the best performance, nanocomposites based on silica and biomass were obtained by different methods. The efficiency of the materials was tested for the removal of Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The maximum capacity and rate of adsorption were for the biosorbent calcinated at 5500C after material synthesis and they were comparable with similar materials presented in the specialised literature.
