    Notes: Abstract A high-chromate-selective biosorbent with high adsorption capacity was sought by examining the chromate adsorption capacities of 48 species of red, brown, or green marine algae sampled from the east coast of Korea. Screening showed a red marine alga to have the most excellent adsorption characteristics among them, and it was identified as Pachymeniopsis sp. The period at which Pachymeniopsis sp. was sampled did not affect the adsorption capacity of the alga, but the optimum period for mass collection was April to May. The alga also showed high selectivity for chromate since its adsorption capacity for other heavy metal ions such as cadmium and manganese ions was relatively low. An investigation of the adsorption isotherm of dried powder of Pachymeniopsis sp. for chromate adsorption at 25 °C showed a Langmuir-type dependence. The maximum chromate adsorption capacity of the selected alga was about 225 mg/g. Desorption of the adsorbed chromate from Pachymeniopsis sp. was done by treating the sample with 1 N NaOH. It was confirmed that ion exchange type adsorption was observed with an anion exchanger but not with a cation exchanger. It is therefore believed that the chromate adsorption is based on anionic exchange of Pachymeniopsis sp.

    Notes: Abstract  A highly chromate-selective biosorbent with high adsorption capacity was found by examining the chromate adsorption capacities of 48 species of red, brown, or green marine algae sampled from the east coast of Korea. As a result of screening, a red marine alga showed excellent adsorption characteristics. It was identified as Pachymeniopsis sp. The timing of the sampling of Pachymeniopsis sp. did not affect the adsorption capacity of the alga but the optimum period for mass collection was April–May. The alga also showed high selectivity for chromate and its adsorption capacity for other heavy metal ions such as cadmium and manganese was relatively low. An investigation of the adsorption isotherm of Pachymeniopsis sp. as a dried powder for chromate adsorption at 25 °C showed Langmuir-type dependence.

    Notes: Abstract The toxicities of solutions of 10 mercury compounds to luminescent bacteria were measured using the Microtox Toxicity Bioassay. The aim of this study was to assess the influence that the counter-ions have on the aquatic toxicity of mercury salts. The toxicities of these mercury compounds were very similar, except for mercurous tannate and mercuric salicylate. This can be attributed to differences in the ionization and speciation patterns of these compounds relative to the other compounds tested. In general, the toxicity of the solutions at pH 5 was not significantly different from the toxicity of these solutions at pH 6, but a clear reduction in toxicity was observed when the pH of the solution was adjusted to pH 9. Significant differences were found between the toxicity of Hg(I) and Hg(II) salts of the same anion at pH 9. When cysteine was added to a mercuric nitrate solution (at pH 6), a reduction in the toxicity was observed. This can be explained in terms of the strong binding of mercury to cysteine, thus reducing the concentration of mercury species available to cause an observable toxic effect to the bioluminescent bacteria.
