In this study, we investigated the concentrations and enrichment coefficient of Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn of 20 samples of 17 plant species in Lanping lead–zinc mine with the objective to (1) get better knowledge of the accumulating capacity of 20 samples of 17 plant species to Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn in such a environment condition, and (2) choose ...
Using a global database of 664 hyperaccumulating plants, we constructed a phylogeny of hyperaccumulating plants of As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn. We evaluated the phylogenetic randomness of plants hyperaccumulating different metals by comparing the minimum number of trait-state changes across the phylogenetic tree to a null model.
ABSTRACT: In current time the environment is heavily polluted by various toxic metals, which create a danger for all living beings. Phytoremediation can be potentially used to remediate metal-contaminated sites. A major step towards the development of phytoremediation of heavy metal impacted soils is the discovery of the heavy metal hyperaccumulation in plants. This study …
Among the investigated metals, the plant available Pb and Cd species are the most severe contaminants. Significant correlations between total and DTPA extractable metals were found for Cu (r=0.510) and Pb (0.418), and also an affinity between total and water extractable metals were identified for Cu (0.366), Pb (0.502) and Zn (0.597).

The spatialization of the results was essential to the understanding of the potential contribution of different sources of Cu, Zn, and Pb in the topsoil and to distinguishing different behaviors of the same plant species. Abstract The pollution and contamination assessment of three heavy metals (Cu, Pb, and Zn) in the topsoil, and common plants (Olea europaea, …
The Zn, Cu, Cd, and Pb concentrations accumulated in plants was high, in the same way as other aquatic species suggested for heavy metal removal (Miretzky et al., 2004, Gardea-Torresday et al., 2005).The investigation found that all plant parts took up all four metals (Table 1).This corroborates earlier findings that Zn, Cu, Cd, and Pb are directly taken up by both the …
Thickening and Filtering of Zn and Pb. The final lead and zinc concentrates are pumped by concentrate pumps to Thickeners for dewatering prior filtration. The thickener underflow at approximately 50% solids is pumped to a Disc Filter by means of a Diaphragm pump. The filter cakes pass to concentrate bins for storage. Zn Pb Plant Sampling
Plant species, including Phragmites australis, Zephyranthes candida, Cynodon dactylon, and Alternanthera philoxeroides accumulated moderate-high concentrations of Cr and other metals, which could make them good bioindicators of heavy metal pollution. Tanning sludge enriched with high concentrations of Cr and other metals has adverse effects on the …
In this context, the main objective of this research was to evaluate the capacity of bioaccumulation of As, Ag, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in tissues of native plants as well the translocation into over-ground organs from polluted post-mining soils. The purpose was to establish the potential of different plants species for phytoremediation in post ...

The pairs of Cu–Zn (0.486) and Zn–Pb (0.423) showed high and significant correlations at 99 and 95 % confidence levels, respectively. Furthermore, the linear correlation for soil to leaf transfer showed that between Cd in soil and leaf, there is a high and significant correlation (0.560) at 99 % confidence level.
The sludge was examined for and the total concentrations and different chemical fractions of Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu, Ni and Zn. The total metal concentrations of heavy metals in sludge varied greatly. The contents of Zn and Cu were the highest, followed by then Cr, Ni and Pb and the content of Cd was the least.
The Tianbaoshan deposit is a typical large Pb–Zn deposit in the SYG area and occurs as pipe-like type, hosted by Sinian dolostone. It contains ∼26 Mt Zn–Pb ore (7.76–10.09 % Zn, 1.28–1.50 % Pb and 93.6 g t −1 Ag) and >0.1 Mt Cu ore (2.55 % Cu). In this study, the detailed mineral textures, mineral chemical and sulphur isotopic ...

There are abundant metal resources in Yunnan Province, China, including Pb, Zn, and Cu, whereas Pb-Zn mines are dominant. The total reserves of Pb-Zn mines are 26.053 million tons in Yunnan. On the other hand, plant species are also very diverse in metal mining area, including various native herbaceous and cultivated crops.
In the study, we characterized plants and soils from six tanning sludge storage sites. Soil in these sites exhibited toxic levels of Cr (averaged 16,492 mg kg-1) and other metals (e.g., 48.3 mg Cu kg-1, 2370 mg Zn kg-1, 44.9 mg Pb kg-1, and 0.59 mg Cd kg-1). Different metal tolerance and accumulation patterns were observed among the sampled ...
Six plants of each species, except for Salix where four plants were used, were mounted in black styro plates and placed in 1 l plastic pots filled with 30% nutrient solution with or without the addition of heavy metals. In metal-treatment pots, the elements given were 0.12 μM Cd, 2.7 μM Cu, 19.8 μM Pb, 42.3 μM Zn and 6.37 μM As.
The uptake and distribution of four heavy metals, including copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn), and those of total phosphorus (TP) in 30 plants in North China were investigated through pot trial experiments. Accumulation and distribution of heavy metals or TP were associated with pla …

Of the metals reviewed, Zn is the least toxic. Generally plant growth is affected at 1000 μg Zn L−1 or more in a nutrient solution, though 100 to 200 µg L−1 may give cytological disorders. At concentrations of 100 to 200 μg L−1, Cu and Cd disturb metabolic processes and growth, whereas the phytotoxicity of Pb generally is lower.
Huludao Zinc Plant in Huludao City, China is the largest zinc smelting plant in Asia. Heavy metals have contaminated its neighboring environment seriously.
