Abstract: The bioflocculant produced by a stain of Paenibacillus sp. A9 which separated and purified from soilhada high removal rate of Pb2+ in the water, and the adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic process of MBFA9 were further investigated. The results showed that the removal rate of Pb2+ reaches 92.73% at initial concentration of 56.2mg/L.The theoretical maximum capacity was 196.08mg/g, and the adsorption rate constant k2 was 0.019g/(mg·min-1).The dynamic characteristics of MBFA9 capturing Pb2+ in the water are in accordance with pseudo-second kinetic model, and the adsorption isotherm model of MBFA9 capturing Pb2+ agrees well with the Langmuir equation of thermodynamics with the correlation coefficient R2=0.96. Comparison among the IR spectra,SEM and EDS of MBFA9 capturing Pb2+ showed that the main component of MBFA9 is polysaccharides and the reaction mechanism is that functional groups on the surface of flocculant and Pb2+ formed chelate by chelation.There is chemical reaction between hydroxyl, amido, carboxyl and Pb2+ in the trapping process, and there is also a floc of sweep function, so MBFA9 has better removal effect on Pb2+.
