“…However, the most important disadvantage of the phytoremediation method is that hyperaccumulator plants are defined as secondary pollutants and classified as hazardous waste because they contain excessive amounts of heavy metals in their tissues (Delil et al, 2020). Nevertheless, in this method, the harvested plants can be easily and safely processed by ash, composting or drying, or they can be recycled and removed from the secondary pollutant class (Lasat, 2002;Töre & Özkoç, 2022). Phytoremediation methods can be classified as phytoextraction phytostabilization, phytodegradation, phytovolatilization and rhizodegradation.…”

Aim of study: The aim of this study was to determine the phytoremediation capacity of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), which can also be used as a bioenergy plant, in soils contaminated with copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) from the waste dumping sites during the mining operations. Area of study: Phytoremediation study was carried out in Artvin Coruh University Research greenhouse environment. Material and Methods: Plants were grown by mixing clean and contaminated soil at the rates of 0%, 50% and 100%. Bioaccumulation (BAF) and translocation (TF) factors were calculated by measuring heavy metal concentrations in soil and plant samples. The bioaccumulation factor is calculated by dividing the metal concentration in the shoots with the metal concentration in the soil. The translocation factor expresses the ratio of the metal concentration in the plant green parts to the root metal concentration. Main results: The sunflower plant has accumulated the highest Zn in the shoots, while Cu and Pb have accumulated the highest in the roots. The mean BAF values of the plants were determined as 0.72 for Zn, 0.5 for Pb and 0.28 for Cu, while the mean TF values were determined as 1.25 for Zn, 0.97 for Pb and 0.52 for Cu. Highlights: The findings show that the sunflower plant can be used in the phytostabilization of Cu metal and in the phytoextraction of Zn and Pb metal to reclaim heavy metal contaminated soils.

“…Furthermore, water pollution is considered one of the most serious problems that requires an immediate and radical solution. It could also lead to serious threats to sustainable environmental development [1]. Rapid industrial development in many countries and human activities result in the contamination of water with heavy metal ions like Cu, Pb, Hg, etc., and this problem has caused several diseases [2].…”

Mesoporous Silica Modified with 2-Phenylimidazo[1,2-a] pyridine-3-carbaldehyde as an Effective Adsorbent for Cu(II) from Aqueous Solutions: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study

In this study, we will present an efficient and selective adsorbent for the removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions. The silica-based adsorbent is functionalized by 2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a] pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (SiN-imd-py) and the characterization was carried out by applying various techniques including FT-IR, SEM, TGA and elemental analysis. The SiN-imd-py adsorbent shows a good selectivity and high adsorption capacity towards Cu(II) and reached 100 mg/g at pH = 6 and T = 25 °C. This adsorption capacity is important compared to other similar adsorbents which are currently published. The adsorption mechanism, thermodynamics, reusability and the effect of different experimental conditions, such as contact time, pH and temperature, on the adsorption process, were also investigated. In addition, a theoretical study was carried out to understand the adsorption mechanism and the active sites of the adsorbent, as well as the stability of the complex formed and the nature of the bonds.
