Soil Phytoremediation

The use of plants to remove heavy metals from soil (phytoremediation) is expanding due to its cost-effectiveness as compared to conventional methods and it has revealed a great potential. Since contaminants such as Pb or Cd have a limited bioavailability in the soil, methods to facilitate their transport to the shoots and roots of plants are required for successful phytoremediation. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of addition of different rates (0, 3, 6 and 12 mmol/kg) of ethylene diaminetetraacetate (EDTA) on heavy metal availability in soils contaminated with 50 mg/kg Cd (CdCl<sub>2</sub>), 50 mg/kg Cu (CuSO<sub>4</sub>), 50 mg/kg Pb [Pb(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] and 50 mg/kg Zn (ZnSO<sub>4</sub>), and on the capacity of canola (Brassica napus L.) and Indian mustard (Brassica junceaL.) plants to uptake Cu, Cd, Pb and Zn in a growth chamber. Results indicated that EDTA application increased heavy metal availability and uptake by plants. Significant differences were obtained in both species and plant parts. As for plant species tested, canola was more effective in the uptake of Cu, Cd, Pb and Zn. Root heavy metal uptake of both species was higher than shoot heavy metal uptake.

The objective of this research was to investigate the feasibility of developing improved activated sludge cultures capable of removing heavy metals. Cystine, peptone, and β-glycerophosphate (BGP) stimulated metal uptake without the significant reduction of culture viability otherwise experienced in the absence of these chemicals. The cystine-peptone-BGP-grown culture exhibited the highest removal of copper and cadmium of 5.67 and 2.53 mM/g protein, respectively.
