Different pH and Cr6 + on the Chlorella algal toxicity effects.docVIP

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 20 Different pH and Cr6 + on the Chlorella algal toxicity effects [Abstract] Objective: To study the pH, heavy metals Cr6 + on the freshwater green algae Chlorella algal growth and toxic effects of the water quality of China’s scientific development of benchmarks and standards to provide reference information. Methods: According to OECD 201 algal growth inhibition test guide to the 72 h algal biomass was the end of the algae inhibition test. Results: Two different initial pH values #8203;#8203;of algae in the growth potential under different Chlorella pH 7.0, The optimum algal pH 9.0. at different initial pH value conditions, Cr6 + on removal and the role of algal concentrations were low (lt;0.1 mg L-1) stimulated while high concentration (gt; 0.5 mg L-1) inhibition, and the higher the concentration the greater the inhibition. For Chlorella Cr6 + in the pH = 7.0, least toxic, pH = 8.0 in the most toxic; for algal Cr6 + pH = 9.0 in the least toxic, pH = 7.0 in the most toxic. Conclusion: Cr6 + in the algae under optimum pH value of the least toxic. [Keywords:] Cr6 +; Chlorella; obliquus; pH value; water quality criteria [Abstract] Objective: The toxicological effects of hexavalent chromium (Cr6 +) on the growth of freshwater green algae, Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) and Scenedesmus obliquus (S. obliquus) were investigated at different pH levels in order to provide references to the scientific establishment of water quality criteria and standard in China. Methods: According to the OECD guidelines for the testing of chemicals, freshwater alga and cyanobacteria growth inhibition test (OECD 201), taking 72 h biomass as the endpoint, the algal inhibition tests were conducted . Results: The alga grew differently at different initial pH levels, and the optimal growth pH of C. vulgaris was pH = 7.0, while the optimal pH = 9.0 for S. obliquus. At different initial pH levels, Cr6 + had the stimulating effects on both C. vulgaris and S.
