摘      要：Radionuclides accidentally released from nuclear power plants,such as ^(137)Cs and ^(60)Co,can lead to severe contamination of marine *** macroalgae are effi cient in absorbing metal elements from seawater.A 10-day simulation was conducted to assess the potential of scavenging cesium(Cs)and cobalt(Co)with live U lva prolifera that was cultured in seawater medium containing Cs and Co in diff erent concentrations(0(the control),10,20,50,and 100 mg/L).In the experiment,5 kg(fresh weight)of *** was cultured in natural seawater in 90-L *** showed that after the experiment,the average bioconcentration factors(BCFs)of the control group were 247.2 and 1126.4 for Cs and Co,*** absolute absorption quantity of *** increased and the BCFs decreased with the increase in Cs and Co *** biosorption of the two metals on the fi rst day well fi t the pseudo-second-order equation(R^(2)0.95),indicating that adsorption is the rate-limiting step in the total biosorption *** of both metal ions declined signifi cantly in the fi rst hour and decreased by 25.2%and 15.5%in 48 h,***,live *** is effi cient at scavenging Cs and Co in seawater,providing potential applications for the phytoremediation of radionuclides contaminated seawaters.
