Phytoremediation of Metal (PB, NI, ZN, CD and CR) Contaminated Soils Using Canna Indica

Abstract: Heavy metal pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems today. Remediation of heavy metal polluted soils is one of the significant topics in environmental restoration. As a plant based technology the success of phytoremediation is inherently dependent upon proper plant selection. The present study is an attempt to test the potential of the native species to remove heavy metals from the soil. A pot experiment was conducted to study the metal accumulation capacity of Canna indica L. Canna… Show more

“…For the phytoremediation of mixed heavy metals, a study on Alternanthera bettzickiana, a species commonly used as an ornamental edging plant, showed a good accumulation of Cd and Pb at concentrations up to 1.0 mM, with total uptake of both metals higher in shoots than roots (Tauqeer et al 2016). Based on BF and TF, also Canna indica was indicated to be a good accumulator of Cd, Pb, Ni, Zn, and Cr, with high TF for Ni and Cr (Subhashini & Swamy 2014). The macrophyte Iris pseudacorus is considered to be a candidate for Cr rhizofiltration and Zn phytoextraction, having shown a good tolerance and accumulation capacity towards these two metals.…”
