Abstract:The adsorption and desorption behaviors of Hg 2+ by living and dead Microcystis aeruginosa in aqueous solution were investigated. The results showed that both living and dead Microcystis aeruginosa can effectively adsorb Hg 2+ , the equilibrium adsorption capacity and rate increased with the increasing abundance of algae. The maximum adsorption amount of Hg 2+ to living and dead Microcystis aeruginosa was 2.13×10-2 and 1.11×10-2 ng 10-6 cells, respectively. The adsorption processes of Hg 2+ by living Microcyst… Show more
