Abstract:Sludge (tailing), a waste product of the amalgamation process used in the mining of gold, contains a high concentration of the heavy metal mercury (Hg). It is well known that mercury builds up in large quantities in Plectranthus sp. herbaceous plants in the Pancurendang Village Small-Scale Gold Mining area. The study intends to: 1) quantify the amounts of mercury present in plant organs and media tailing during phytoremediation treatment; 2) examine the mechanisms and capacities of plant phytoremediation using… Show more
