Outline of Final Research Achievements

Seaweeds are abundantly harvested in Hokkaido, Japan. The purpose of the present study was to utilize unutilized resources, such as roots of kelp and scraps from processing of kelp, as metal ion adsorbents by the sorption (biosorption) method.
The adsorption isotherm at 60 degrees Celsius of Cu ion was measured with a batch type adsorption test for Saccharina japonica and Saccharina sculpera powder samples. It was found that two-step adsorption behavior was observed around 25 mg/L. Kinetic studies of the adsorption were also conducted. The result showed that an kinetics could not be described by a single first-order reaction or secondary reaction for the whole adsorption times. The activation energy at the initial stage of adsorption were determined from the Arrhenius plot.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

廃棄物のバイオソープション法による金属吸着剤への適用としては様々な研究が知られる。しかしながら、海藻類の利用について、農学系・水産系の研究者による報告が知られるが、十分な物理化学的検証が行われていると言い難い。
本研究では、北海道で豊富に採れる昆布に着目して、海藻中に保持された状態でのアルギン酸やフコイダンなどのイオン交換サイト量を定量的に明らかにしつつ、各種金属イオンの吸着能を明らかにしたことは学術的に意義が大きいといえる。また仮根部など、これまで検討されなかった部位について、吸着が起きることを明らかにしたことは、廃棄物の有効利用の観点からも有益であると考えられる。
