Mapping the intake of different elements in vegetal tissues by dual‐energy X‐ray imaging at DaΦne synchrotron light source

Abstract: This article reports on the first utilization of the soft X-ray beamline at the DaPhine synchrotron light source for mapping the intake of different elements in plant tissues. As a test, the method of dual-energy X-ray microradiography was applied to the investigation of the natural sulfur content in dried leaf and root samples. Our ultimate goal was to monitor the pollutant lead and its intake, which was added in controlled doses to the hydroponic medium of laboratory-controlled samples of vegetal species. Th… Show more

“…Moreover, the vermiculite, being a mineral characterized by a high capacity as a cationic exchanger, strongly interacts with the ions present in the solution, binding them on its surface (Malandrino et al, 2006). For these reasons, using the AAS apparatus, the concentration of the biodisposable lead (Reale et al, 2008) has been directly measured in the prepared solutions (control, 0.1, 1.0, 10 mM) used for the plants observed by the dual-energy method (Hoagland's solution with different lead acetate concentrations) together with the vermiculite substrate in the same experimental conditions used for growing plants, and also in their absence. The measured values of the biodisposable lead are shown in Table 3.…”

“…Even the remediation techniques could be more properly applied if the effective degree of remediation could be quickly and precisely evaluated (Kaiser et al, 2004(Kaiser et al, , 2005(Kaiser et al, , 2007Reale et al, 2008).…”
