“…L. minor and L. gibba commonly occur in wetlands. They adapt easily to varying conditions, grow quickly, and have great potential to remove contaminants from water (Dirilgen 2011;Rahman and Hasegawa 2011;Obek and Sasmaz 2011;Materazzi et al 2012;Bocuk et al 2013;Rofkar et al 2014;Tatar and Obek 2014;Pratas et al 2014;Favas et al 2014;Goswami et al 2014;Iqbal and Khera 2015;Babarinde and Onyiaocha 2016;Sasmaz et al 2016;. The contaminant-removing ability of these plants has been studied to investigate the removal of U from the contaminated water of U mining areas (Pratas et al 2012(Pratas et al , 2014Favas et al 2014;Wang et al 2015;Qureshi et al 2015;Matveyeva et al 2016;Iqbal 2016;Jha et al 2016).…”

This study focused on the ability of Lemna minor and Lemna gibba to remove U and Th in the tailing water of Keban, Turkey. These plants were placed in tailing water and individually fed to the reactors designed for these plants. Water and plant samples were collected daily from the mining area. The plants were ashed at 300°C for 1 day and analyzed by ICP-MS for U and Th. U was accumulated as a function of time by these plants, and performances between 110 % and 483 % for L. gibba, and between 218 % and 1194 % for L. minor, were shown. The highest Th accumulations in L. minor and L. gibba were observed at 300 % and 600 % performances, respectively, on the second day of the experiment. This study indicated that both L. gibba and L. minor demonstrated a high ability to remove U and Th from tailing water polluted by trace elements.

“…Of the different techniques for removing of heavy metals, phytoremediation is among the cost‐effective and ecologically friendly, in that it uses living green plants for in situ removal of contaminants from water and soil (Sood et al . ; Tatar & Obek ; Goswami et al . ; Sasmaz et al .…”

“…Of the different techniques for removing of heavy metals, phytoremediation is among the cost-effective and ecologically friendly, in that it uses living green plants for in situ removal of contaminants from water and soil (Sood et al 2012;Tatar & Obek 2014;Goswami et al 2014;Sasmaz et al 2015). Phytoremediation depends on the ion uptake mechanism, as well as the physiological, anatomical and morphological characteristics of each species (Rahman & Hasegawa 2011).…”

This study investigated the use of Lemna gibba and Lemna minor plant species to absorb Cr, Ni and Co from Alacakaya mining area water. Lemna gibba and L. minor were separately placed to feed into two reactors. Water and plant samples were collected for eight consecutive days, and the pH, electric conductivity and temperature of the water were measured. The plants were washed, dried and burned at 300°C for 24 h in a drying oven. The samples were then analysed by ICP‐MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy) for concentrations of Cr, Ni and Co, which were 1.2, 0.9 and 0.5 μg L−1 respectively. On Day 8, the determined uptake of L. gibba and L. minor were: 196 and 398% for Cr; 307 and 1473% for Ni; and 166 and 223% for Co respectively. Lemna gibba and L. minor were thus effective in absorbing Cr, Ni and Co from mining water.

“…Gür et al (2016) found that L. minor accumulated 4007 mg B/kg after a 7-day treatment period. Tatar and Öbek (2014) also determined that B uptake by L. minor changes between 140 mg B/g and 274 mg B/g. N. officinale and C. demersum plants were found to accumulate maximum Arsenic in their tissues.…”

We investigated the concentrations of boron, zinc, arsenic, silver, lead, copper, cadmium and chromium in water, sediment and boron, zinc and arsenic in some wetland plants (Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex Steud, Typha latifolia L., Nasturdium officinale L., Lemna minor L., Lythrum salicaria L., and Ceratophyllum demersum L.) of Kocasu Stream and two related ponds in Köprüören, Kütahya. According to our results, among the eight heavy metals investigated in this study, arsenic was found at high concentration in sediment (288.66 mg/kg) whereas boron (903 µg/L) was detected in the highest concentration in water samples. We also determined that zinc, boron and arsenic concentrations in plants varied from 70 to 280, 37.6 to 1682.5, and 0.2 to 34 mg/kg dry weight (DW), respectively. As a result, it was found that C. demersum, L. minor and N. officinale had the highest accumulation capacity of zinc, boron and arsenic.Öz: Köprüören, Kütahya'da bulunan Kocasu Nehri ile bu nehirle bağlantısı bulunan iki göletin kenarlarında yayılış gösteren bazı sulak alan bitkilerindeki (Phragmites australis (Cav.)

Bu çalışmada araştırılan sekiz ağır metal arasından, arsenik sedimentte yüksek konsantrasyonda bulunurken (288,66 mg/kg), su numunelerinde en yüksek konsantrasyonda bor (903 µg/L) tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, bitkideki çinko, bor ve arsenik konsantrasyonlarının sırasıyla 70-280, 37,6-1682,5 ve 0,2-34 mg/kg kuru ağırlık arasında değiştiği saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, C. demersum, L. minor ve N. officinale'nin en yüksek çinko, bor ve arsenik biriktirme kapasitesine sahip olduğu bulunmuştur.Anahtar kelimeler: Biyoakümülasyon, ağır metal, sediment, su, sulak alan bitkileri How to Cite
