Abstract

Phytoremediation is a promising approach grounded in green and sustainable development principles for decontaminating water and soil. Among the studied duckweed species (Spirodela polyrhiza, Wolffia arrhizal, and Lemna minor), S. polyrhiza exhibited the highest zinc removal efficiency of 88.50% by day 7, followed by L. minor and W. arrhiza with removal efficiency of 78.69 and 38.59%, respectively. This study investigated the effects of environmental factors, including initial zinc ion concentration (50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mg/L), solution pH (pH 5, 6, 7, and 8), and macrophytes mass (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 g) on the phytoremediation of the zinc ion from synthetic wastewater by S. polyrhiza. The process effectively treated 500 mL of synthetic wastewater containing 100 ppm zinc ion and the process could be enhanced to achieve the removal efficiency of 90% by adjusting the solution pH to slightly acidic (pH 5) and increasing the mass of duckweed to its saturation point (20 g). Excessive zinc intake by duckweed led to chlorophyll reduction, negatively impacting the duckweed growth rate. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that the duckweed fronds' surface became uneven after the treatment, with the irregular small particles attached due to cellular damage. The energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed the successful uptake and accumulation of zinc in the duckweed cells from the synthetic wastewater. In conclusion, duckweed-based phytoremediation demonstrates significant potential for removing zinc ion from wastewater, at low and moderate concentrations.

柠檬科植物修复锌离子的环境友好方法:过程行为和表征研究。
植物修复是一种基于绿色和可持续发展原则的有前途的水和土壤净化方法。在研究的浮萍种类(多根螺旋藻、野狼尾和小扁豆)中,多根扁豆在第7天的锌去除率最高,为88.50%,其次是小扁豆,分别为78.69%和38.59%。本研究考察了锌离子初始浓度(50、100、150、200和250 mg/L)、溶液pH (pH 5、6、7和8)和大型植物数量(5、10、15、20和25 g)等环境因子对多根菌修复合成废水中锌离子的影响。该工艺可有效处理500 mL含100 ppm锌离子的合成废水,调节溶液pH为微酸性(pH 5),增加浮萍质量至其饱和点(20 g),可提高工艺去除率,达到90%。浮萍摄入过多锌导致叶绿素降低,对浮萍生长速度产生负面影响。扫描电镜(SEM)分析显示,处理后浮萍叶表面变得不均匀,由于细胞损伤而附着不规则的小颗粒。能量色散x射线(EDX)分析证实了浮萍细胞对合成废水中的锌的成功吸收和积累。综上所述,以浮萍为基础的植物修复在去除废水中低浓度锌离子方面具有显著的潜力。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Phytoremediation (IJP) is the first journal devoted to the publication of laboratory and field research describing the use of plant systems to solve environmental problems by enabling the remediation of soil, water, and air quality and by restoring ecosystem services in managed landscapes. Traditional phytoremediation has largely focused on soil and groundwater clean-up of hazardous contaminants. Phytotechnology expands this umbrella to include many of the natural resource management challenges we face in cities, on farms, and other landscapes more integrated with daily public activities. Wetlands that treat wastewater, rain gardens that treat stormwater, poplar tree plantings that contain pollutants, urban tree canopies that treat air pollution, and specialized plants that treat decommissioned mine sites are just a few examples of phytotechnologies.
