Abstract
Biosorption isotherms for pentachlorophenol (PCP), on granular and dis persed anaerobic sludge from five different industrial sources fit wel l to the Freundlich equation. No significant difference was observed i n biosorption capacity between dispersed and granular anaerobic sludge . Some variation in biosorption capacity was observed among the differ ent industrial sources of sludge. Comparison with results reported by other investigators suggested that biosorption by anaerobic biomass is lower than that by aerobic microorganisms.
