Intensification of biosorption of copper ions from solution by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in magnetic field

We studied the possibility of intensification of biosorption of copper ions by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1968 from a copper sulfate solution by immersing a metal 80-rod headpiece into the solution and applying an external magnetic field. The field was parallel or perpendicular to the axes of headpiece rods. It was shown that intensification of extraction of copper ions at various geometries of the system differed insignificantly and that copper ions were extracted from the solution via biosoprtion and cementation at the metal headpiece.
