A process of biosorption of Cu2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ on Bacillus subtilis was investigated.The experiments show that the process of biosorption is quite fast. The maximum adsorption was reached after 5 min and hardly changed with time. The experimental data was analyzed using four sorption kinetic models: the pseudo-first-order, the Ritchie second-order, the modified second-order and the Elovich equations, which helped to determine the best-fit equation for the sorption of metal ions onto biomass. The results show that both the Ritchie second-order and modified secondorder equations can fit the experimental data. The Langmuir model is able to accurately describe adsorption of Cu2+ and Zn2+ on B. subtilis. The experimental data points of adsorption Cd2+ and Zn2+ on B. subtilis are described by Freundlich isotherms model.
