Because of its characteristics, wood vinegar is widely used in agricultural production processes. Wood vinegar can be used as a strong antioxidant, anti-bacteria, plant growth agent, an insecticide, and currently shows superiority in the treatment of heavy metals. Wood vinegar contains organic acids, organic compounds, and phenol, which can effectively adsorb heavy metals. A large number of studies have been conducted on the adsorption of heavy metals by biochar, but few studies have analyzed the effects of biochar and wood vinegar fertilization on the growth of cadmium soil genus plants and changes in soil heavy metal forms. This article analyzed the effects of wood vinegar and biochar mixed fertilizer on the growth and plant efficacy of pakchoi from the properties of wood vinegar, and confirmed that 0.75% wood vinegar liquid treatment is the most effective concentration. By analyzing the effectiveness of 0.75% wood vinegar and biochar mixture and single fertilization, the combined application of biochar + wood vinegar reduced the absorption rate of cadmium by pakchoi leaves and roots by 12.8% and 13.1% compared with the single treatment group. The yield of crops increased by 111.9~150.1%. The results of evaluating the enrichment coefficient and single-factor index are 0.17~0.67%, 0.005-0.008, and the ranking is D> E> C> B> A> CK. When observing the changes in soil morphology, the content of residual cadmium, carbonate-bound cadmium, and iron-manganese oxide-bound cadmium increased by 0.3~233.7 times, and the exchangeable cadmium content and the content of organic and sulfide-bound cadmium were reduced to 1.0~6.6 times. It can be seen that under different cadmium stress conditions, the mixed fertilization of wood vinegar and biochar will reduce the growth of pakchoi and the plant availability of cadmium, and it has a higher mitigation effect on cadmium soil pollution.

Wood vinegar is widely used as a strong antioxidant, bacteria prevention, plant growth agent, an insecticide, and its effectiveness is shown in heavy metal treatment at this time.Wood vinegar liquid contains organic acids and phenols, which are effective in adsorbing heavy metals. Although a lot of studies have been conducted on the adsorption of heavy metals from biochar, the effect of mixing biochar and wood vinegar liquid on plant budding, and soil heavy metal morphology changes few studies have been analyzed. This paper analyzes the effects of Wood vinegar and biochar on the sprouting of pakchoi grown in different threats of cadmium from the nature of Wood vinegar. As a result, it was confirmed that the optimum concentration of the applied fertilizer wood vinegar that lowers the plant effectiveness of Cadmium was 1.0%. The fresh weight of pakchoi changed significantly in the order of biochar + wood vinegar 1.0% mixing> biochar> control. When 5.0% Biochar was mixed with 1.0% wood vinegar, the immobilization effect of the residual state and the carbonate bound cadmium in the soil was the highest. The combined application of wood vinegar and biochar promotes the germination of pakchoi, and has a significant inactivation effect on cadmium-contaminated soil; the results of analyzing the effectiveness of the mixing of wood vinegar and biochar and separate fertilization for each soil index show that, Compared to before sowing the pH ratio of the mixed treatment of biochar + wood vinegar is higher than that of the single treatment zone, which is as high as between 6.6-6.8, the EC is reduced to 2-59mS/cm width, and the CEC is increased by 0.27-2.21 times. It shows that under heavy metal stress, the mixed treatment of biochar+wood vinegar solution 1.0% is more effective than the treatment of biochar alone and the control.

The paper present result of research on the intensity of the absorption of cadmium from the soil by plants barley. The object of the study were plant spring barley varieties Peas in various stages of development. Сadmium was added to the soil (dark-grey podzolic) as a CdCl2·2,5H2O in the concentration of 3, 15 and 30 mg Cd+2 per kg of the soil. Сadmium is one of the heavy metals which occur in the environment as a result of antropogenic activities. The best solution for maintaining non-contaminated soils and plants is to remove the sources of Cd in the environment. Given that that is essentially impossible at this time, further research needs to determine how soil and plant factors affect Cd availability on polluted soils. Of all non-essential heavy metals, Cadmium (Cd) is perhaps the metal that has attracted the most attention in soil science and plant nutrition due to its potential toxicity to humans, and also its relative mobility in the soil-plant system. The Cadmium is for plants completely unnecessary element. Of particular concern for humans are the high concentrations of Cd in grain. Established that the Cadmium content in barley amended as follows: underground faction > vegetative biomass fraction > generative fraction (control and on the variant of contamination of soil in a dose 3 mg Cd+2 per kg of the soil) and underground faction > generative fraction > vegetative biomass fraction (on the variants of experience 5 and 10 maximum possible concentration of Cd+2). Сadmium absorbed most intensive barley in the flowering stage. Cadmium is characterized by subzero migratory ability in theorgans of barley. Roots are the main accumulators of this heavy metal. Every stress conditions are signal for a plant to initiate in its cells a number of different biochemical processes (e.g. changes of cytoplasm pH, changes of electrostatic potential of cell membranes, flow of ions). It is set that getting a clean straw and clean grain ispossible only on the variants of experien-ce 1 maximum possible concentration of Cd+2 and on control. The effect of сadmium and other heavy metals on plants depends not only on its form, but also on the presence and concentration of other elements and substances, the plant species and its developmental stage are also important. Several soil conditions, such as the pH value, calcium level, content of organic substances, particulaly humus etc., are decisive for the exchangeable and water soluble, available сadmium for plants.

Abstract.In order to ensure that safe and healthy tomatoes can be provided to people, a method for quantitative determination of cadmium content in tomato leaves based on hyperspectral imaging technology was put forward in this study. Tomato leaves with seven cadmium stress gradients were studied. Hyperspectral images of all samples were firstly acquired by the hyperspectral imaging system, then the spectral data were extracted from the hyperspectral images. To simplify the model, three algorithms of competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), variable combination population analysis (VCPA) and bootstrapping soft shrinkage (BOSS) were used to select the feature wavelengths ranging from 431 to 962 nm. Final results showed that BOSS can improve prediction performance and greatly reduce features when compared with the other two selection methods. The BOSS model got the best accuracy in calibration and prediction with R2c of 0.9907 and RMSEC of 0.4257mg/kg, R2p of 0.9821, and RMSEP of 0.6461 mg/kg. Hence, the method of hyperspectral technology combined with the BOSS feature selection is feasible for detecting the cadmium content of tomato leaves, which can potentially provide a new method and thought for cadmium content detection of other crops. Keywords: Feature selection, Hyperspectral image technology, Non-destructive analysis, Regression model, Tomato leaves.

Concentration of 4 heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd) and petroleum hydrocarbon in the surface sediments collected from Chenglingji, Dongting Lake, were quantitatively analyzed. Distribution characteristics and possible sources of the heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbon were discussed. Methods of single-factor index and geoaccumulation index were adopted to evaluate the potential ecological risks of heavy metal. The results showed that Cd was seriously polluted and in a strong ecological risk level; Cu, Pb and Zn pollution was mild in Chenglingji Port, Dongting Lake. Petroleum hydrocarbon content of nearshore sediment was low exclude of area near Chenglingji Port, which significantly exceeded the standard value. And the content of petroleum hydrocarbon decreased with the distance far away from the harbor.

This study aimed to evaluate the capacity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for Cadmium absorption in Milk. Nowadays one of the most serious problems is heavy metals pollution. Applying microorgaisms as a novel biotechnology is so useful especially in foodstuffs. Among the biosorbents for heavy metals’ removal, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has got an increasing attention due to its popularity in food industry. In this regard, the effects of some important factors such as the initial metal concentration, biomass concentration and contact time on the biosorption capacity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied. The biosorption was analyzed by the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). The maximum Cd bioremoval (70%) was at 80 μg/L of this metal concentration in milk samples containing 30×108 CFU Saccharomyces cerevisiae at the end of storage time (the 4th day). There were no significant differences in sensory and physicochemical properties of milk samples during storage (p < 0.05). The isotherm studies followed by two popular models; Langmuir and Freundlich and the results showed a better fit to the Langmuir isotherm. All together, the results of this project demonstrated that the approach of using this valuable yeast, could be applied for food and drinks’ detoxification and producing healthier foods.

AbstractIn recent decades, higher-place shrimp ponds are prevalent in coastal areas of developing countries. However, shrimp aquaculture has a growing negative impact on mangrove wetland ecosystems. Mangroves located in Dongzhai harbor are under threat continuously of this commercialization. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of contaminants and heavy metals is necessary for Dongzhai harbor, considering the mangrove area was declined and ecological services offered to the coastal communities with an insight for future restoration activities. In this study, pond effluents (Total Nitrogen (TN), Ammonia Nitrogen (AN), Total phosphorus (TP), Chemical Oxygen Demond (COD)) and heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn) were monitored in Dongzhai harbor yearly between 2013 and 2017. The results showed that the contents of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn were far lower than the standards. However, the main contaminants were organic matter and nitrogen. Maximum values of COD and TN were 26.10 mg·L−1 and 1.34 mg·L−1, respectively in 2017. Single factor index, Nemerow's pollution index, and Trophic level index revealed that the heavily polluted areas were Tashi and Sanjiang town.
