Abstract: The adsorption of lead(Ⅱ) and cadmium(Ⅱ) on the exopolysaccharide of natural biofilm was investigated. The exopolysaccharide was obtained from the extracellular polymers of superiority bacteria in Changchun South Lake. The results show that both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations could describe the thermodynamics adsorption processes of Pb and Cd on the exopolysaccharide. One order kinetic model of Langmuir-Hinshelwood equation could describe the kinetic adsorption characteristics of heavy metals.The existence of Cd affects the adsorption of Pb, and Pb also affects the adsorption of Cd. Temperature and pH value could also affect the adsorption processes.

Key words: biofilm, exopolysaccharide, adsorption, lead, cadmium
