摘要

Abstract

Radionuclides accidentally released from nuclear power plants

such as

137

Cs and

can lead to severe contamination of marine ecosystems. Living macroalgae are efficient in absorbing metal elements from seawater. A 10-day simulation was conducted to assess the potential of scavenging cesium (Cs) and cobalt (Co) with live

Ulva prolifera

that was cultured in seawater medium containing Cs and Co in different concentrations (0 (the control)

and 100 mg/L). In the experiment

5 kg (fresh weight) of

U. prolifera

was cultured in natural seawater in 90-L tanks. Results showed that after the experiment

the average bioconcentration factors (BCFs) of the control group were 247.2 and 1 126.4 for Cs and Co

respectively. The absolute absorption quantity of

U. prolifera

increased and the BCFs decreased with the increase in Cs and Co concentrations. The biosorption of the two metals on the first day well fit the pseudosecond-order equation (

0.95)

indicating that adsorption is the rate-limiting step in the total biosorption process. Concentrations of both metal ions declined significantly in the first hour and decreased by 25.2% and 15.5% in 48 h

respectively. Therefore

live

U. prolifera

is efficient at scavenging Cs and Co in seawater

providing potential applications for the phytoremediation of radionuclides contaminated seawaters.
