This work reports on a study of the biosorption of copper and cobalt, both singly and in combination (in equimolar concentrations), by the resting cells ofPenicillium brevicompac- tum. Equilibrium batch sorption studies were carried out at 30∞C and pH 5.0 for a contact time of 1 hour to guarantee that equilibrium was reached. The equilibrium data were ana- lyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The adsorption of binary mixtures of heavy metal solutions on the fungal biomass was found to be of competitive type where the adsorption capacity for any single metal decreased in the presence of the other. The cobalt ions showed a higher affinity forPenicillium brevicompactumthan the copper ions.
