| Research Abstract |
Soil contamination with heavy metals is a major environmental problem. To clean up the soils, phytoremediation is considered as a cost-effective, environmental friendly approach. However, the efficient method of phytoremediation has not been established. In this project, several studies have been conducted to improve the efficiency of phytoremediation.
1. For cleaning up soil contaminated with Pb, five coating-EDTAs containing N, P, and K (CF-EDTA-1 to 5) were prepared to control the release of EDTA. Test of release rate in water at 25 ℃ showed that the period for 80% release ranged from 3 to 210 days. When these CF-EDTAs were applied into Pb-contaminated soil (2500 mg/kg soil) at 4 mmol/kg soil, CF-EDTA-4 showed the highest accumulation of Pb in both corn and sorghum. The concentration of both EDTA and Pb in the soil solution after application of CF-EDTA-4 was much lower compared to direct application of EDTA. Ten different plant species with application of CF-EDTA-4 were used to compare the capacity of Pb accumulation, and an radish (cv. Feitian) showed the highest accumulation of Pb.
2. To search for substances with Zn-chelating activity secreted from Zn-hyperaccumulator, Thlaspi caerulescens, a simple and rapid assay method for Zn-chelating activity was developed using paper chromatography. From the root exudates of Thlaspi caerulescens, Zn-chelating activity was detected and the activity was found in the anionic fraction. Zn did not affect the uptake of Cd, but Cd decreased the uptake of Zn in Thlaspi caerulescens. ^<113>Cd-NMR was applied to identify the Cd form in the leaves of Thlaspi caerulescens, and a signal at - 15 ppm was observed in the leaves and crude sap, suggesting that Cd is present in a chelated form.
