Abstract
Biosorption of cadmium and chromium (III) ions by means of selected yeast species has been estimated. Kinetics and equilibrium measurements have shown the reliable efficiency of both metals removal for Candida tropicalis. The influence of pH and ionic strength on biosorption process has been examined as well. For both metals the adsorption isotherms have been presented. The equilibrium of chromium (III) sorption has appeared compatible to Langmiur model and the maximum sorption capacity has been determined.
