2.3. Techniques Used in Metal Biosorption Studies
In study of. Jian-hua et al. (2007) In investigation of. Jian-hua et al. (2007) effectively associated the number of acidic gatherings introduced to Bacillus cereus biomass, decided through potentiometric titrations, with the metal take-up limit. The idea of the coupling locations and their inclusion amid biosorption can be roughly assessed utilizing FTIR. Therefore, we utilized FTIR systems to determine the idea of the coupling locations where the investigation of Mishra and Doble (2008) indicated that carboxyl and amino groups were responsible for the binding of chromate. Carboxyl groups are negatively charged and abundantly available and actively participate in the binding of metal cations. Kang et al. (2007) observed that amine groups protonated at pH 3 and attracted negatively charged chromate ions via electrostatic interactions. Potentiometric titrations can provide information on the type and number of binding sites. Kang et al. (2007) titrated Pseudomonas aeruginosa and determined the pKa values of available binding sites Loukidou et al. (2004).
2.4. Analyzed the FTIR spectra of U loaded and unloaded
We used FT-IR spectra to confirm the availability of binding sites, as shown in Table 5. And data of FT-IR OF un loaded E. coli. (S6) unloaded and Bacterial Isolate as shown in table 2,3 For uranium, we found amino acid (O-H) stretching protein v (N-H) stretching, phosphate C-O stretching band, P-H stretching, protein amide I band mainly (C=O) stretching, protein (CH2) and (CH3) bending of methyl lipid (CH2) bending of methyl, carbohydrate (c-o) of polysaccharides, nucleic acid (other phosphate containing compound), >p=o stretching of phosphodiester, acid chlorides, C-Cl stretch in S6 E. coli, and comparing with dead isolates, we found the same beside acid chlorides at position 550 cm-1 C-Cl stretch Cayllahua et al. (2009), who used FTIR spectra to confirm the presence of amide, carboxyl, and phosphate groups in Rhodocs. Biomass

All this evidence suggests that functional groups presented in Tables 4, and 5, are responsible for metal uptake in our bacterial biomass. In addition, the change in peak positions assigned to its groups confirms the biosorption of metal ions from waste due to ion charge interactions. Comparing Tables 4, and 5 and 6 we found an increase in the number of binding sites, indicating that immobilized bacteria have high efficiency for metal uptake, which also changes the peak positions assigned to its groups, confirming the biosorption of metal ions from waste due to ion charge interactions.

2.5. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX)
Alginate beads (Fig. 1), predominantly ellipsoidal spheres, with an average diameter of 3–5 mm were used in the packed bed to remediate 10-1000 ppm U(VI) in a synthetic uranium solution. The effectiveness of different dosages of beads was considered, and the optimized ratio of 1:5 (v/v) of beads to water was used in all batch studies of isotherm kinetics. Scanning electron microscopy of these beads, synthetic solution (Fig. 1), and control (Fig. 2), showed that they were hollow from inside (having smooth inner walls). In SEM/EDS analysis of the Ca-alginate beads after the experiment, void spaces of the beads were found to be filled with precipitates of heavy metals, showing that Ca-alginate beads can be successfully used as a biosorbent for the removal of uranium, which agreed with (Sumin Park and Minhee Lee 2017) in substantial metal evacuations, such as Cu and Cd. The picture of the control demonstrates the nonappearance of any metal besides uranium, which is not currently present. In Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, and table 6, uranium is indicated, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. In the spot zone affirmed Uranium biosorption.
(Fig. 3). This established the fact that E. coli interacted with the metal present in the medium.
Kazy et al. (2006) utilized X-beam diffraction (XRD) examination and affirmed the inclusion of cell carboxyl and phosphate bunches in the authoritative form of lanthanum by Pseudomonas biomass. SEM micrographs supported analysts in dissecting cell surface morphology prior to and then afterward biosorption. Tunali et al. (2006) envisioned the surface of metal-stacked Bacillus sp. In our investigation, we utilized SEM to confirm U biosorption.
IR Examination of Cell wall of E. coli:
Cell wall of E. coli used in biosorption showing the functional group in the cell wall and comparing it with autoclaved forms exploring the difference in the intensity of the functional group of the cell wall involved in biosorption. This difference in intensity was reflected in biosorption capacity, as shown in Figure 4 functional group, and its intensity in the case of free cells.

4.3. Relation between Immobilization of Cells and efficiency of biosorption:
Immobilized individual enzymes can be successfully used for single-step reactions. They are, however, not suitable for multienzyme reactions and for reactions requiring cofactors. Whole cells or cellular organelles can be immobilized to serve as multienzyme systems. In addition, immobilized cells rather than enzymes are sometimes preferred even for single reactions due to the cost factor in isolating enzymes. For enzymes that depend on the special arrangement of the membrane, cell immobilization is preferred. Immobilized cells have been traditionally used for the treatment of sewage. The techniques employed for immobilization of cells are almost the same as those used for immobilization of enzymes with appropriate modifications. Entrapment and surface attachment techniques are commonly used. Gels, and to some extent membranes, are employed.
Immobilized live Cells:
The viability of the cells can be preserved by mild immobilization. Such immobilized cells are particularly useful for fermentations. Sometimes mammalian cell cultures are made to function as immobilized viable cells.
In many instances, immobilized nonviable cells are preferred over enzymes or even viable cells. This is mainly because of the costly isolation and purification processes. The best example is the immobilization of cells containing glucose isomerase for the industrial production of high fructose syrup.
