| Abstract: | Different concentration of uranium and
thorium uptake by algal biomass was studied. Chlorella salina and Isochrysis
galbana was used to uptake the uranium and thorium in the present study. Different
concentration of live cells of algae was also used to uptake the uranium and
thorium. Increasing concentration of uranium and thorium showed decrease in
absorption by Chlorella salina and Isochrysis galbana. Increase in biomass
concentration has the ability to uptake more amounts of uranium and thorium. Chlorella salina absorbed more amount of
metal than the Isochrysis galbana.
Amount of uranium was uptake more than the thorium by Chlorella salina and Isochrysis
galbana. Chlorella salina absorbed
more amount of thorium. |
