Abstract

In this study, a bamboo species, the Phyllostachys pubescens – Moso Bamboo (MB) -, was selected for its heavy metals accumulation and translocation potential to restore Chromium (Cr)-contaminated soil. In order to evaluate the MB Chromium growth, tolerance and the potential for phytoremediation using MB to restore Cr-contaminated soil, pot experiments were carried out in simulated Mediterranean conditions in a laboratory, in a controlled environment, at a temperature of 20 °C. The results showed that MB growth rate was 4.28 cm/week on average, with an irrigation flow of 1.644 mm/d. MB tolerance was tested over a 12-week irrigation period with the addition of Cr-contaminated water. Cr removal from soil was 43% starting from a Cr content of approx. 200 mg/kg dry weight (dw) and the quantity of Cr per gram of root and rhizome was equal to 1.31 mg/g dw, while the quantity of Cr per gram of stem and leaves was equal to 0.86 mg/g dw, after 12 weeks. Pot experiments confirm that phytoremediation using plants such as MB provides an alternative approach for handling Cr-contaminated soil. Moso Bamboo has shown a great adaptability of growing in Mediterranean semi-arid conditions Moso Bamboo tolerance to contaminated water has been registered up to 125 g/cm3 of chromium. Cr Phytoextraction from soil was found to be significant −43%-and Cr is accumulated mostly in the roots [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Mercury and chromium represent two important elements of environmental concern and with a strong impact on human health. Several technologies are available to clean up the environment from these kinds of contaminants, but most of them are costly and difficult to use to get optimum results. Currently, phytoextraction is an effective and affordable technological solution used to extract or remove metals from contaminated soil and water by the use of plants as tools. This technology is environment‐friendly and potentially cost‐effective. This paper aims to compile some information about the two metals mercury and chromium, their effects and their possible treatment by phytoextraction, a branch of phytoremediation technologies aimed to confront metal/metalloid pollution. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
