“…1). Detailed description for XKS can be found in our previous published paper [30]. Sixty-five samples from seven dominant plant species colonized on the slag piles were collected for determination of As, Sb, and Bi contents; the associated soils closely around the roots were also collected ( Table 1).…”

Arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), and bismuth (Bi) are metalloids that share similar chemical properties, the objective of this study was to characterize the uptake and accumulation of these metalloids by plants colonized on heavy contaminated sites in an old Sb mine. Sixty-five plant samples from seven species as well as the associated soil samples were collected at ten sites of Xikuangshan (XKS), Hunan province, China. Concentrations of As, Sb, and Bi in plants and soils were measured. As, Sb, and Bi were found to be evidently elevated due to the long history and intensive mining and smelting activities; the respective ranges for the levels of As, Sb, and Bi at the sites were 40.02-400.2 mg kg(-1) As, 610-54,221 mg kg(-1) Sb, and n.d. to 1,672 mg kg(-1) Bi. No correlation was found between As and Sb at the sites, while Bi was found to be positively correlated with As whereas negative with Sb at the sites. In general, the contents in the plants in XKS were in the order of As > Sb > Bi, and the contents of As was positively correlated with Sb and Bi in plants. The highest contents of As and Sb recorded was 607.8 mg kg(-1) As in Pteris vittata and 90.98 mg kg(-1) Sb in Hippochcaete ramosissima, while the highest Bi content as 2.877 mg kg(-1) Bi was measured in Buddleja davidii. Bioconcentration factors defined as the ratios of metalloids in shoots of plants to those in soils for various plants were lower than 1. The results showed plants colonized at the heavy contaminated sites in XKS had great tolerance to As, Sb, and Bi, and demonstrated similarities in plant uptake and accumulation of these three elements.

“…4aec). The presence of Sb(III) could be from deposited atmospheric particulate matter from stibnite (Sb 2 S 3 ), [þ3 Sb oxidation state], which is the main mineral ore in the XKS mine (Fan et al, 2004;Qi et al, 2011). Furthermore, under anoxic conditions prevailing in flooded rice paddies, a trivalent form of Sb would be expected to be the dominant species, although Sb(V) has also been reported in anoxic waters (Filella et al, 2002).…”

“…Lonicera japonica, an Asian native plant showed high accumulation and tolerance characteristics for cadmium (Cd), being a useful plant with potential in hyperaccumulating cadmium ). The wild plant Bidens tripartita, other species of B. pilosa was found grown in a super-large antimony (Sb) deposit area with high concentrations of Sb in the roots (Qi et al, 2011). Also, B. tripartite has been studied to phytoremediation of Cd contaminated soils (Wei et al, 2010).…”

Indigenous plants have been grown naturally and vigorously in copper contaminated soils. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the phytoremediation ability of two indigenous plants naturally grown in two vineyard soils copper contaminated, and in a copper mining waste. However, it was evaluated the macro and micronutrient uptake and the potential of phytoremediation. So, a greenhouse study was carried out with Bidens pilosa and Plantago lanceolata in samples of vineyard soils (Inceptisol and Mollisol) copper contaminated, and in a copper mining waste. Plant growth, macro and micronutrient up take, tolerance index (TI), translocation factor (TF), metal extraction ratio (MER), bioaccumulation factor (BCF), plant effective number of the shoots (PENs), and plant effective number of the total plant (PENt) were analyzed. Both plants grown in vineyard soils showed high phytomass production and TI. P. lanceolata plants cultivated in the Inceptisol showed the highest copper concentrations in the shoots (142 mg kg -1 ), roots (964 mg kg -1) and entire plants (1,106 mg kg -1 ). High levels of copper were phytoaccumulated from the Inceptisol by B. pilosa and P. lanceolata with 3,500 and 2,200 g ha -1 respectively. Both B. pilosa and P. lanceolata plants showed characteristics of high copper hyperaccumulator. Results showed that both species play an important role in the natural copper phytoaccumulation in both vineyard soils contaminated with copper, being important to its phytoremediation. , respectivamente, quando cultivadas em Neossolo. Ambas as espécies apresentaram características hiperacumuladoras de cobre. Os resultados mostraram que estas espécies desempenham um papel importante na fitoacumulação de cobre naturalmente em ambos os solos de vitivinicultura contaminados com cobre, sendo importantes para a fitorremediação.
