“…Cultivation of Li-accumulator in Li polluted soil might be an economical and eco-friendly method for revegetation (Shahzad et al, 2016). The information of germination responses of Li-accumulator seeds to different Li concentrations is vital for soil Li phytoremediation purpose.…”

“…These approaches include: (1) identification and use of Li tolerant genotypes, accumulator and hyperaccumulator; (2) organic matter addition to soils; (3) application of chelators or chaperones; (4) Ex-situ and in-situ immobilization techniques; (5) soil stabilization and solidification (Shahzad et al, 2016). Among these methods, phytoremediation is inexpensive and can reduce secondary pollution compared with traditional physical and chemical approaches (Cluis, 2004; Franzaring et al, 2016).…”

Primarily, lithium (Li) resource development and wider application of Li-ion batteries result in Li pollution and concomitantly poses increasing and inevitable problems to environmental health and safety. However, information is rare about the scope of the remediation of Li contaminated soil. Apocynum venetum is already proved to be a Li-accumulator with high Li tolerance and accumulation (Jiang et al., 2014). However, it is not clear whether Apocynum pictum, another species of the same genus with the same uses as A. venetum, is also a Li-accumulator. We investigated germination, growth and physiological responses of A. pictum to different levels of LiCl. Germination was not significantly affected by low Li concentration (0–100 mmol L−1). As LiCl increased from 100 to 400 mmol L−1, both germination percentage and index decreased gradually. For germination of A. pictum seeds, the critical value (when germination percentage is 50%) in LiCl solution was 235 mmol L−1, and the limit value (when germination percentage is 0%) was 406 mmol L−1. A. pictum could accumulate >1,800 mg kg−1 Li in leaves, and still survived under 400 mg kg-1 Li supply. The high Li tolerance of A. pictum during germination and growth stage was also reflected by activity of α-amylase and contents of soluble sugar, proline and photosynthetic pigments under different Li treatments. The bioconcentration factors (BCF) (except control) and translocation factors (TF) were higher than 1.0. High tolerance and accumulation of Li indicated that A. pictum is Li-accumulator. Therefore, this species could be useful for revegetation and phytoremediation of Li contaminated soil.

“…It has not been shown to act as a cofactor in any enzyme or enzymatic transportation system within plants. The concentration of Li in plants is highly variable [65]. The amount of Li in plants is a function of the amount of Li in the soil substrate in which the plants are growing because of this it has been suggested that the concentration of Li in plants is a good guide to the amount present in the soil [66].…”

Induced Plant Accumulation of Lithium

et al. 2018

Lithium's (Li) value has grown exponentially since the development of Li-ion batteries. It is usually accessed in one of two ways: hard rock mineral mining or extraction from mineral-rich brines. Both methods are expensive and require a rich source of Li. This paper examines the potential of agro-mining as an environmentally friendly, economically viable process for extracting Li from low grade ore. Agro-mining exploits an ability found in few plant species, to accumulate substantial amounts of metals in the above ground parts of the plant. Phyto-mined metals are then retrieved from the incinerated plants. Although the actual amount of metal collected from a crop may be low, the process has been shown to be profitable. We have investigated the suitability of several plant species including: Brassica napus and Helianthus annuus, as Li-accumulators under controlled conditions. Large plant trials were carried out with/without chelating agents to encourage Li accumulation. The question we sought to answer was, can any of the plant species investigated accumulate Li at levels high enough to justify using them to agro-mine Li. Results show maximum accumulated levels of >4000 mg/kg Li in some species. Our data suggests that agro-mining of Li is a potentially viable process.

“…Ek olarak, bitkilerin tolerans mekanizmaları hakkında önemli bilgi eksikliği durumu daha da yoğunlaştırmaktadır. Bu nedenle, gelecekteki araştırmalar, Li'nin kendi kaynaklarından (özellikle Li pillerden) toprağın ve gıda zincirine girmesini en aza indirgemek için önemli ve ulaşılabilir çözümler bulmaya vurgulamalıdır [60].…”

ÖZDünya yüzeyinde çok az bölgede ve az miktarda bulunan elementler (Nadir Toprak Elementleri-REE) teknolojik gelişmelere paralel olarak hızla kullanılıp tüketilmektedir. Diğer genel ismi Teknoloji Kritik Elementler (TKE) olan bu elementlerin kullanım oranlarının artması ile çevrede bulunma sıklıkları ve miktarları da artmıştır. TKE'ler, mühendislik nanopartikülleri arasında yer almakta olup çevre ortamlarında güneş ışığı altında oldukça reaktif ve fizikokimyasal olarak dinamik bir hale gelmekte ve çevrede risk oluşturmaktadır. Dolayısıyla, bu nanopartiküllerin neden olacağı çevresel risklerin anlaşılması amacıyla ekotoksisite çalışmaları yoğun olarak sürdürülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, TKE'ler arasında ilk dikkat çeken metallerden olan, Lityum (Li) (çoğunlukla uzun ömürlü pillerden kaynaklanan) ve Seryum (Ce) (elektronik sanayiinde vazgeçilmez hale gelen ve özellikle yarı iletkenlerde kullanılan) ile ilgili sucul ve fitotoksik bulgular değerlendirilmiştir. ABSTRACTThere are in very few regions and few amounts elements (Rare Earth Elements-REE) on the surface of the earth are rapidly used and consumed in parallel with technological developments. Another common name of these elements is the Technology Critical Elements (TCE) have increased their frequency and quantity with increasing their usage rates. TCEs are among the engineered nanoparticles become highly reactive under sunlight in environmental areas and physicochemically dynamic and pose a risk to the environment. Therefore, ecotoxicity studies are intensively carried out in order to understand the environmental risks caused by these nanoparticles.In this study, amongst the TCE, Lithium (Li) (originated mostly from batteries), and Cerium (Ce) (indispensable in electronic industry and used especially in semiconductors) have been evaluated according to aquatic and phytotoxic findings.
