To enhance the metal removing capacity of a fungus biosorbent, a new idea of producing a hybrid biosorbent (HB) matrix by combining two different biosorbents using a simple and low-cost immobilization technique was tested for the sorption of Cd(II). The two biosorbents, used as the building block for the production of HB matrix, were the fungal biomass of Phanerochaete chrysosporium (B1) and fibrous network of papaya wood (B2). Maximum independent biosorption capacity of B1 and B2 was noted, respectively, to be 71.36 and 17.62 mgCd(II)g(-1) biosorbent. However, when two biosorbents were hybridized to form HB matrix, the combined biosorption capacity (141.63 mgCd(II)g(-1) biosorbent) was increased by 98.47, 703.80%, respectively, as compared to the ability of B1 and B2 when used alone, and by 59.17% than the sum of separate individual abilities of biosorbents B1 and B2. The kinetics of equilibrium was fast, approximately 88% of Cd(II) biosorption taking place within 30 min. Biosorption kinetics and equilibria followed the pseudo-second order kinetics and Langmuir adsorption isotherms model. HB matrix was also shown to be highly effective in removing Cd(II) from aqueous solution in a continuous flow fixed-bed column bioreactor, both in batch and repeated cycles.
