Abstract

The remediation of heavy metals from contaminated sites by the application of phytoextraction is proving to be efficient and cost-effective. A pot experiment was conducted to ascertain the effect of soil types (Sand, Loam and Clay) in the remediation of Cu, Cr and Hg using Phragmites australis. The results obtained throughout 60days of the plant’s growth showed that Cu absorption in the roots of the plant in sandy, loamy and clayey soils was; 47 mg/kg, 79.1 mg/kg and 96 mg/kg respectively. Cr absorption in the roots of the plant in sandy, loamy and clayey soils was 136 mg/kg, 180 mg/kg and 353 mg/kg respectively whilst that of Hg absorption in sand, loam and clay were 11.7 mg/kg, 14. mg/kg 8 and 19.3 mg/kg. The translocation factor for all the metals in the three soil types was less than one, however, the Bioaccumulation Factor (BAF) in all cases were more than one. The study concluded that the accumulation of Cr in the tissues of the plant was more pronounced than Cu and Hg. Clayey soil proved to be the favourable soil required for the effective remediation of the metals into the tissues of the plant.

土壤类型对芦苇植物修复重金属的影响
事实证明,利用植物提取法对污染场地的重金属进行修复是有效和具有成本效益的。通过盆栽试验,确定了土壤类型(沙、壤土和粘土)对芦苇修复Cu、Cr和Hg的影响。在植物生长的60天内获得的结果表明,在沙质、壤土和粘质土壤中,植物根部对铜的吸收为;47 mg/kg,79.1 mg/kg和96 mg/kg。在沙质、壤土和粘性土壤中,植物根部对铬的吸收量为136 mg/kg,180 mg/kg和353 汞在砂、壤土和粘土中的吸收率分别为11.7 mg/kg、14。 mg/kg 8和19.3 mg/kg。三种土壤类型中所有金属的迁移因子均小于1,但所有情况下的生物累积因子均大于1。研究得出结论,Cr在植物组织中的积累比Cu和Hg更明显。粘土被证明是有效修复植物组织中金属所需的有利土壤。
