THE RESPONSE OF CHARA AND OSCILLATORIA TO REMOVE Ni (II) IONS FROM INDUSTRIAL WASTE WATER

Abstract

A blue green algae Oscilfaloria sp. and green algae Chara sp. have been used in the present study to asses their ability to remove Ni (II) ions from effluent having high concentration of Ni and the effect of this metal on dry matter content of the algae. Oscillatoria, being blue green algae can efficiently remove/ uptake Ni (II) ions than Chara from the industrial waste water. The metal concentration in the effluent and the dry matter content of both the algae are negatively correlated.
