“…Hence, results shows that Acacia seyal tree branches are suitable precursor material to produce good quality AC. Ragland et al, (1991); Saarela et al, (2005 Some of the properties/characteristics of PAC with the properties of two commercially available AC (Filtrasorb ®-400 and QAC-400) and information available in literature (Shisham wood and Acacia nilotica) are presented in table 2. Results show that PAC has a comparable BET-surface area.…”

Saudi Arabian desert tree Acacia (Vachellia Seyal) used to produce Activated Carbon (AC) by phosphoric acid mediated chemical activation at low temperature. Characterization of AC done based on proximate and detailed analysis including Moisture content, Total Ash content, pH value, Iodine number, Methylene blue number, pore volume and BET surface area. Results revealed that properties of produced activated carbon (PAC) are comparable to commercial activated carbon (CAC). Low ash content and hardness making it suitable for water and wastewater treatment. Cost of production found to be less than $0.5/kg. Both AC used to treat wastewater containing Methylene Blue (MB) dye. Initially the removal efficiency of CAC is higher than the PAC however, both AC reached to similar removal (95.3% for PAC and 98.2% for CAC) within one hour. Growing demand of AC in the country can be meet by producing low cost locally available waste materials Acacia seyal tree branches.

“…Heavy metal uptake can also vary for different parts of the same plant (Doganlar and Yurekli, 2009). For this reason, wood, bark, stem, flower, needle, root and leaf tissues of plants have been used to determine airborne heavy metal pollution (Aksoy and Ozturk, 1997;Kulevanoval et al, 1998;Schulz et al, 1999;Harju et al, 2002;Markkola et al, 2002;Piczak et al, 2003;Saarela et al, 2005;Onder and Dursun, 2006;Yilmaz et al, 2006;). It is known that the amount of metal in the leaf tissues of herbaceous and woody plant species growing near emission sources reflects the pollution level of these areas.…”

The effects of anthropogenic pollution on metal accumulation and some physiological parameters were investigated in plant leaves in the Adana, located in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Washingtonia filifera L., Eucalyptus camaldulensis L., Phoenix dactylifera L., Platanus orientalis L., Citrus aurantium L., Nerium oleander L. and Schinus molle L. plants were collected from four different locations having different pollution levels in Adana . Concentrations of metals (Al, B, Ba, Fe, Pb, Sr and Zn), pigment (chloropyhll and carotenoid), lipid peroxidation product (malondialdehyde), and peroxidase (POD) enzyme activity were determined in the leaf tissues of these plants. Nerium oleander was determined to be a suitable biomonitor for heavy metal accumulation from anthropogenic and traffic activities in Adana. It was also determined that S. molle accumulated more Cu, Pb and Zn than all the other plant species and that metal accumulation did not cause a significant increase in pigment content of this plant. Our results indicate that POD enzyme activities in P. orientalis (Sr and Zn), C. aurantium (Ba) and N. oleander (Cu and Pb) can be used as suitable indicators for heavy metal stress. Additionally, we propose that S. molle can be used as a biomonitor for Pb, Cu and Zn, while N.oleander can be used as a biomonitor for Fe, Al, and Ba.

“…Важкі метали, які надходять із різних джерел, акумулюються в ґрунті, і наступний їх перерозподіл залежить від хімічної природи елементів, а також специфічних властивостей ґрунтів та рослин (Kabata-Pendias, 2011). В сучасних умовах інтенсифікації антропогенного пресу, з постійним «збагаченням» місць існування рослин сполуками групи важких металів, екологічний фактор часто заважає реалізації генетичної програми поглинання хімічних елементів рослинами (Saarelaa et al, 2005;Verbruggen et al, 2009;Appenroth, 2010;Chudzińska et al, 2016). Багато авторів вважають, що стан асиміляційного апарату деревних рослин можна використовувати в якості об'єкта моніторингу довкілля, що пов'язано з оцінкою їх середовищестабілізуючої ролі на шляху поширення забруднювачів у навколишнє середовище (Dmuchowski and Bytnerowicz, 1995;Pöykiö et al, 2010;Kabata-Pendias, 2011;Pietrzykowski and Socha, 2011;Pietrzykowski, 2014).…”

The aim of the research was to study the features of the accumulation of heavy metals elements group by assimilation apparatus of coniferous and deciduous woody plants. We registered low bioaccumulative coefficients of Black locust regards chromium, antimony, and tin. We also determined that the Robinia leaves could accumulate Sb and Sn while in small concentrations and the Crimean pine needles could accumulate Sb and As in in the lowest concentration. The Mangan fraction that translocated to the was high for both tree species and more higher concentration was fixed in the Crimean pine. The average content of Lead was 209.11 kg·ha -1 for Crimean pine in all age groups, while for the Black locust is was only 15.52 kg·ha -1 that was by 13.5 times less. We determined large concentrations of Zinc in the Robinia leaves that was gradually decreasing with tree age. We revealed small contamination of Zinc in the Crimean pine with peak values of accumulation in the second age group of this species. We did not fix the definite trend of redistribution and accumulation of copper towards the tree species and age. For the Black locust the minimum content in green mass was determined for Cr and Sn. In general, the leaves fraction of the aboveground phytomass per unit area is able to accumulate the inorganic contaminants, which is ranged from 1.

Дніпро 49600, Україна, E-mail: myrt74@mail.ru, glub@ukr.net, nick-nick@mail.ru, svetfotini@mail.ru Досліджено специфіку акумулятивних властивостей групи неорганічних контамінантів листям та хвоєю лісотвірних порід Дніпропетровської області. Відбір досліджуваного матеріалу проведено у рослин, зростаючих на техноземі шахти «Павлоградська» м. Павлоград. Виявлено відповідність нормам гранично допустимих концентрацій (ГДК) одного з дев'яти досліджуваних елементів -Мангану. З'ясовано, що показники вмісту у техноземі інших елементів групи важких металів перевищують значення ГДК у 1,27 (Pb) -15,7 (Cr) разів. За коефіцієнтом біологічної акумуляції встановлено, що до елементів сильного накопичення відноситься Манган та Плюмбум, усі інші -до елементів слабкого накопичення. Визначено, що при зростанні рослин на шахтній породі кількісний вміст елементів групи важких металів на розраховану
