Cross-flow microfiltration was shown to retain Saccharomyces cerevisiae biomass utilized for heavy metal bioaccumulation. The passage of metal-laden influent through a series of sequential bioaccumulation systems allowed for further reductions in the levels of copper, cadmium, and cobalt in the final effluent than that afforded by a single bioaccumulation process. Serial bioaccumulation systems also allowed for partial separation of metals from dual metal influents. More than one elemental metal cation could be accumulated simultaneously and in greater quantities than when a single metal was present in the effluent (Cu(2+) 0.43 mmol, Cu(2+) + Cd(2+) 0.67 mmol, and Cu(2+) + Co(2+) 0.83 mmol/g yeast dry mass when the initial concentration of each of the metal species was 0.2 mmol x L(-1)). Co-accumulation of two different metal cations allowed higher total levels of bioaccumulation than found with a single metal. The flux rate was 2.9 x 10(2) L x h(-2)microm(-2) using a polypropylene microfiltration membrane (0.1 microm pore size) at 25 degrees C.
