摘要

Abstract

The capability of Scenedesmus obliquus to remove cations (K+

Na+

Ca2+

Mg2+) from saline-alkaline water was investigated at different salinities (0

25) and carbonate alkalinities (0

35 mmol/L). K+

Na+

Ca2+

and Mg2+ in saline-alkaline water were efficiently removed by S. obliquus. The maximum removal of the cations (29.37 mg for K+

185.85 mg for Na+

23.07 mg for Ca2+

66.14 mg for Mg2+) occurred at salinity 25. The maximum removal of K+ (2.28 mg)

Na+ (6.62 mg)

Ca2+ (1.01 mg)

and Mg2+ (0.62 mg) occurred at carbonate alkalinities of 25 mmol/L for K+

35 mmol/L for Na+

20 mmol/L for Ca2+

and 25 mmol/L for Mg2+

respectively. Under a salinity stress

the concentration of Na+ in S. obliquus increased significantly

while that of K+ decreased significantly. The concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+ decreased as well. The ratios of K+/Na+

Ca2+/Na+

and Mg2+/Na+ were significantly lower in all salinity treatments than those of the control. Under alkaline stress

the concentrations of Na+ and K+ in S. obliquus decreased significantly and the ratios of K+/Na+

Ca2+/Na+

and Mg2+/Na+ were significantly higher in all treatments than in the control. Moreover

the concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in S. obliquus at alkalinities of 5–10 mmol/L were significantly higher than those of the other treatments. The removal of Na+ by S. obliquus mainly occurs through biosorption

and Mg2+ and Ca2+ were removed through both biosorption and bioaccumulation.
