Abstract

Ecosystem is deteriorating day by day due to Industrial effluents. The effluents are containing toxic chemicals which are in turn polluting ground drinking water and creating new diseases. Treatment methods for these Industrial effluents are becoming more costly. The Present study is aimed and focused at decreasing the toxicity of Industrial waters and the target is Reduction, Recycle and Reuse (RRR) using sorption. The objective in this study is to obtain maximum sorption capacity of nickel ions by using immobilized Skeletonemacostatum microalgae as sorbent. The influence of various parameters, such as pH (2-8), Contact time (1-180 min), sorbent dosage (10-60 g/L), Initial nickel concentration (20-200 mg/L), Temperature (283-323 0C) were investigated. Under this study the maximum sorption capacity of nickel (%) is observed at the optimum conditions of Contact time 50 min, pH 7.0, Biosorbent dosage 40 g/L, Initial nickel concentration 20 mg/L, Temperature 3030C.
