Long-Term Field Metal Extraction byPelargonium:Phytoextraction Efficiency in Relation to Plant Maturity

Abstract: The long length of periods required for effective soil remediation via phytoextraction constitutes a weak point that reduces its industrial use. However, these calculated periods are mainly based on short-term and/or hydroponic controlled experiments. Moreover, only a few studies concern more than one metal, although soils are scarcely polluted by only one element. In this scientific context, the phytoextraction of metals and metalloids (Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, and As) by Pelargonium was measured after a long-term fie… Show more

“…This contradiction has affected the multi-metal extraction efficiency. To solve this problem, researchers have investigated multi-metal hyperaccumulators (Abu Bakar et al 2013, Keller 2006, Marchiol et al 2004, Shahid et al 2012. P. vittata can accumulate As, Pb (Wan et al 2014), Cr (Su et al 2005), and Sb, although not in a single population.…”

“…During recent decades, different remediation techniques have been developed to reduce total or bioavailable concentrations of heavy metals in soils and thus minimize their accumulation in the food chain (Shahid et al 2012;Clemente et al 2012). However, several soil remediation techniques, such as ex situ excavation (Li et al 2011), verification (Boisson et al 1999), and electrokinetics (Fan et al 2010), have not been widely utilized because of their relatively high costs or level of soil disruption.…”

“…The second important factor in the success of phytoaccumulation is the availability of heavy metals in the soil. For this purpose, different chelating agents such as oxalic acid, citric acid, ethylenediaminedisuccinate (EDDS), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and nitrilotriacetate (NTA) have reported in literature (16,17,12). Most of studies have focused on EDTA -assisted phytoextraction of Cd.…”
