The metal distribution and the change of physiological and biochemical process in soybean and mung bean plants under heavy metal stress

Soybean [Glycine max (Linn.) Merrill] and mung bean [Vigna radiate (Linn.) Wilczek] plants were challenged with 5 kinds of heavy metals [cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg)] in a hydroponic system. We applied 4 different metal treatments to study the effects of heavy metals on several physiological and biochemical parameters in these species, including root length, heavy metal concentrations and allocation in different organs, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase activities, the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), protein and chlorophyll. The data showed that the growth of the roots of soybean and mung bean was equally sensitive to external Hg concentrations. Soybean was more sensitive to external Cd concentrations, and mung bean was more sensitive to external Cr, Cu and Pb concentrations. Normal concentrations of heavy metal would not cause visible toxic symptoms, and a low level of heavy metal even slightly stimulated the growth of plants. With the rise of heavy metal concentration, heavy metal stress induces an oxidative stress response in soybean and mung bean plants, characterized by an accumulation of MDA and the alternation pattern of antioxidative enzymes. Meanwhile, the growth of plants was suppressed, the content of chlorophyll decreased and leaves showed chlorosis symptoms at high metal concentrations.     

有机肥连续施用对菜田重金属行为的影响——基于地球化学模型研究

2017年起,农业部连续多年出台化肥减量增效行动工作方案,要求适当增加有机肥投入,发展循环农业。但连续施用的有机肥进入土壤后,会对土壤pH、有机质和重金属含量等产生影响,改变土壤重金属行为。科学评估有机肥料施用的影响至关重要。仅通过总含量评估重金属污染风险被认为是片面的,不同化学提取剂提取的重金属含量不能完全代表实际污染状况。地球化学模型具有良好的适用性,比传统的提取方法能够更全面地解释重金属的行为。在集约化农业种植区黄淮海平原,多次施用不同比例的粪源有机肥于旱地菜田,并引入地球化学模型,结合pH依赖性浸出试验,明确连续施肥对菜田土壤重金属行为的主要影响机制。研究发现,有机肥中的铜锌含量远高于土壤中的含量,施用后,它们在土壤中的淋溶浓度随着施用比例增加而显著增加,最多可超过十倍以上,并且活性大大增加,与施肥后溶解性有机物含量的升高呈正相关。不同处理条件下的土壤重金属浸出趋势相似：在中性pH下浸出浓度最低,然后逐渐向强酸和强碱增加,呈现出V型变化。地球化学模型LeachXS展示出较好的模拟结果,其模拟值与实测浓度具有良好的相关性(71.02%)。模拟结果显示,有机肥的施用不会明显改变重金...     

德兴铜矿尾矿重金属污染对土壤中微生物多样性的影响

【目的】为更好地了解重金属污染与微生物多样性之间的相互作用关系,以江西德兴铜矿4#尾砂库为研究对象,采集野外实地样品共16件进行分析(包括尾砂样品以及周围农田和菜地土壤样品)。【方法】一方面对样品中可培养异养细菌进行平板计数,一方面采用变性梯度凝胶电泳(Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis,DGGE)对样品中可培养和不可培养微生物分子生态多样性进行研究;同时采用PCA(Principle component analysis)方法分析样品理化性质、重金属及主要元素与可培养细菌数量及微生物多样性之间的相互关系。【结果】元素分析结果表明该尾矿区样品受到不同程度重金属Cu、Cd、Zn、Ni、Pb和Cr的污染;可培养异养细菌在尾砂样品中数量最少,在菜地和农田土壤样品中有明显增加;多样性指数(Shannon-Weaver index H)计算结果发现H最大值出现在距离尾矿中等距离、重金属浓度在中等程度的样品中。PCA分析结果表明可培养异养菌数量与理化性质如有机碳、有机质、含水率等相关性较大,重金属影响不明显;而多样性指数H除与上述理化性质相关性较大外,还受到重金属Ag、Zn、As、Pb、Ni、Cr等的影响,而在样品中含量普遍比较高的重金属如Cu、Cd等并不成为影响微生物多样性的主要因素。【结论】从这些长期受重金属污染的野外实地样品来看,以上结果说明不同重金属浓度对微生物多样性的影响可能并不是实验室研究的简单的线性关系。

The use of dialdehyde starch derivatives in the phytoremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals

Products of the reaction between dialdehyde starch and Y-NH₂ compounds (e.g. semicarbazide or hydrazine) are effective ligands for metal ions. The usefulness of these derivatives was tested in the experiment, both in terms of the immobilization of heavy metal ions in soil and the potential application in phytoextraction processes. The experimental model comprised maize and the ions of such metals as: Zn(II), Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), and Ni(II). The amount of maize yield, as well as heavy metal content and uptake by the aboveground parts and roots of maize, were studied during a three-year pot experiment. The results of the study indicate the significant impact of heavy metals on reduced yield and increased heavy metal content in maize. Soil-applied dialdehyde starch derivatives resulted in lower yields, particularly disemicarbazone (DASS), but in heavy metal-contaminated soils they largely limited the negative impact of these metals both on yielding and heavy metal content in plants, particularly dihydrazone (DASH). It was demonstrated that the application of dihydrazone (DASH) to a soil polluted with heavy metals boosted the uptake of Zn, Pb, Cu, and Cd from the soil, hence there is a possibility to use this compound in the phytoextraction of these metals from the soil. Decreased Ni uptake was also determined, hence the possibility of using this compound in the immobilization of this metal. The study showed that dialdehyde starch disemicarbazone was ineffective in the discussed processes.     

Phytotreatment of Sewage Sludge Contaminated by Heavy Metals and Pahs by Co-Planting Sedum Alfredii and Alocasia Marorrhiza

High concentrations of heavy metals and organic pollutants in municipal sewage sludge are key factors limiting its use in agriculture. The objectives of this study were to decrease the heavy metal and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations in sewage sludge by phytotreatment and to determine, in a field experiment, whether co-planting is more effective than using a mono-crop of Sedum alfredii. Four treatments were used in the plot experiment: no sludge, no plants, S. alfredii and co-planting S. alfredii and Alocasia marorrhiza. The results showed that co-planting produced tubers and shoots of A. marorrhiza that were suitable as a safe animal feed and good organic K fertilizer, respectively. Co-planting was more effective than mono-planting at reducing concentrations of total Zn and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable Zn, Cd, and Cu in the sludge. Co-planting decreased the concentrations of DTPA-extractable heavy metals and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) in the sludge significantly compared with the unplanted sludge. Decreases of 87, 75, 85, 31, and 64% were obtained for B[a]P and DTPA-extractable Zn, Cd, Cu, and Pb, respectively, compared with the fresh sludge. These results indicate that co-planting can reduce significantly the environmental risks associated with heavy metals and B[a]P in sewage sludge for further disposal.     

Biosorption of heavy metals by the exopolysaccharide produced by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Paenibacillus jamilae</Emphasis>

The biosorption of several toxic heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Co, Ni, Zn and Cu) by the exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Paenibacillus jamilae, a potential biosorbent for metal remediation and recovery was studied. Firstly, the biochemical composition of this bacterial polymer was determined. Glucose was the most abundant neutral sugar, followed by galactose, rhamnose, fucose and mannose. The polymer presented a high content of uronic acids (28.29%), which may serve as binding sites for divalent cations. The presence of carboxylic groups was also detected by infrared spectroscopy. The EPS presented an interesting affinity for Pb in comparison with the other five metals. Lead biosorption (303.03 mg g⁻¹) was tenfold higher (in terms of mg of metal adsorbed per gram of EPS) than the biosorption of the rest of metals. Biosorption kinetics, the effect of pH and the effect of competitive biosorption were determined. Finally, we found that the EPS was able to precipitate Fe(III), but the EPS-metal precipitate did not form with Fe(II), Pb(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II).     

Removal of heavy metals from water effluents using supermacroporous metal chelating cryogels

Applications of IDA in, for example, immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography for purification of His-tagged proteins are well recognized. The use of IDA as an efficient chelating adsorbent for environmental separations, that is, for the capture of heavy metals, is not studied. Adsorbents based on supermacroporous gels (cryogels) bearing metal chelating functionalities (IDA residues and ligand derived from derivatization of epoxy-cryogel with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine followed by the treatment with bromoacetic acid (defined as TBA ligand)) have been prepared and evaluated on capture of heavy metal ions. The cryogels were prepared in plastic carriers, resulting in desired mechanical stability and named as macroporous gel particles (MGPs). Sorption and desorption experiments for different metals (Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, and Ni2+ with IDA adsorbent and Cu2+ and Zn2+ with TBA adsorbent) were carried out in batch and monolithic modes, respectively. Obtained capacities with Cu2+ were 74 μmol/mL (TBA) and 19 μmol/mL gel (IDA). The metal removal was higher for pH values between pH 3 and 5. Both adsorbents showed improved sorption at lower temperatures (10°C) than at higher (40°C) and the adsorption significantly dropped for the TBA adsorbent and Zn2+ at 40°C. Desorption of Cu2+ by using 1 M HCl and 0.1 M EDTA was successful for the IDA adsorbent whereas the desorption with the TBA adsorbent needs further attention. The result of this work has demonstrated that MGPs are potential treatment alternatives within the field of environmental separations and the removal of heavy metals from water effluents.
