The Zinc sulfide is found mostly in nature. The deposition of Zinc absorption by the amount of soluble in aqueous solutions decreases. In this study, the removal of Zinc was investigated by Scenedesmus algae. \u0000Methods: To determine the amount of Zinc absorbed by the absorbent Scenedesmus concentrations of pollutants under different conditions, adsorbent dose, contact time, pH back and the remaining amount was measured by atomic absorption. Adsorption isotherms and kinetic modeling of metal ions on the adsorbent based on the model of Langmuir, Freundlich and kinetics were determined pseudo-first and pseudo-second. \u0000Results: absorption and adsorption kinetics by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models by the model described by pseudo first order and pseudo-second. The results showed that the correlation coefficient, absorption kinetics of pseudo-second-order model with an amount equal to 1 and the balance by the amount of 0.7926 were described by Freundlich isotherm. \u0000Conclusion: This study showed absorption process due to the high correlation algae Scenedesmus sp feature is the removal of Zinc And can be to used proposed as appropriate for the removal of the wastewater.","PeriodicalId":15762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"9 1","pages":"59-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75213546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was the measurement soil microbial activity to evaluate the effect of soil Ni contamination on soil quality and determination of ecological dose 50 (ED50). \u0000Method: This study was conducted as a factorial experiment in year 2016 based on a randomized completely design with three replications. The experiment factors including Ni concentration in six levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 300 and 600 mg Ni kg-1) and two incubation times (15 and 60 days). Soils sample was spiked uniformly with different concentrations of NiCl2. Microbial respiration, microbial biomass carbon, heterotrophic population and metabolic quotient were measured after incubation times of 15 and 60 days, then according to the results, ED50 was determined by using the dose-response curve. \u0000Findings: Soil Nickel contamination on the indicator was significantly effective at P<0.01 level. Heterotrophic population, respiration and microbial carbon biomass decreased significantly (P<0.01) compared to control by increasing the Ni concentration and incubation times, whereas the increase of Ni concentration and incubation times were not significantly affected on metabolic quotient. The minimum amount of microbial respiration, microbial biomass carbon, and the heterotrophic population was observed at the end of incubation times and 600 mg Ni kg-1 with 77.07, 75.72 and 99.99% decrement compared to the control, respectively. ED50 value (mg/kg soil) of microbial respiration, microbial biomass carbon, and heterotroph population increased from 77.55, 78.63, 81.34 to 97.84, 111.04 and 84.67 respectively, with increased incubation time. \u0000Discussion and Conclusion: The soil contaminated with Nickel acutely decreased the biological activity of soil and the ecological dose increased with increasing the incubation time, suggesting that toxicity of Ni to soil microbial activity was decreased with increased incubation time. Ni concentration of 100 mgNikg-1 soil can be considered as the critical range of Ni for soil quality at which negative effect was observed.","PeriodicalId":15762,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"109 1","pages":"237-248"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88911258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
