Multiple drug resistance in sorbitol non fermenting E.coli biovars isolated from Avian species in Tamil Nadu

Abstract :

The removal of Ni from aqueous solution using microalgal resin has been studied. The percentage removal of Ni was carried out by varying experimental conditions viz., initial metal ion concentration, contact time, and pH,. It was found that more than 80% removal was achieved within 100 minutes. This process follows first order Lagergren kinetic model. First order rate constant Kad was calculated. Both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were found to fit and the experimental uptake, the adsorption capacity and adsorption intensity were calculated. The studies showed that microalgal resin that can be used for efficient removal of Ni(II) from waste water.
