Biosorption of each of the heavy metals, copper(II) and cobalt(II) by crab shell was investigated in this study. The biosorption capacities of crab shell for copper and cobalt were studied at different particle sizes (0.456-1.117 mm), biosorbent dosages (1-10 g/l), initial metal concentrations (500-2000 mg/l) and solution pH values (3.5-6) in batch mode. At optimum particle size (0.767 nun), biosorbent dosage (5 g/l) and initial solution pH (pH 6); crab shell recorded maximum copper and cobalt uptakes of 243.9 and 322.6 mg/g, respectively, according to Langmuir model. The kinetic data obtained at different initial metal concentrations indicated that biosorption rate was fast and most of the process was completed within 2 h, followed by slow attainment of equilibrium. Pseudo-second order model fitted the data well with very high correlation coefficients (> 0.998). The presence of light and heavy metal ions influenced the copper and cobalt uptake potential of crab shell. Among several eluting agents, EDTA (pH 3.5, in HCl) performed well and also caused low biosorbent damage. The biosorbent was successfully regenerated and reused for five cycles.
