Phytoremediation, textile effluent, chelating agents

Soil contamination by toxic heavy metals through urbanization and industrialization is a major concern. Phytoremediation, an eco friendly plant based solar driven technology has been proven to be a better alternative to the non-sustainable conventional methods. The limited bioavailability of heavy metals for root uptake has necessitated the application of chelating agents to the soil. In this study, the efficiency of EDTA and CA in the extraction of Lead from soil irrigated with textile effluent was investigated using Jatropha curcas. The seeds of J. curcas and were planted in separate pots containing 1kg of soil obtained within the premises of Funtua textile mill and irrigated with textile effluent. EDTA (5ml of 0.1mmol) and CA (5ml of 0.5mmol) were added separately on the 10th, 11th and 12th week. The plants were harvested after 13 weeks of planting and the average shoot heights of the plants were recorded. The Pb contents in the roots and shoots of the plants in the soils with different amendments were also analysed. The results obtained showed that the individual application of EDTA and CA to the soil increased the average shoot heights of C. procera while that of J. curcas decreased relative to control. The results also showed that EDTA increased the shoot heights of both plants better than CA. The result also showed that the uptake of Pb in the plant tissues of both plants was higher in CA amended soil than in EDTA amended soil. Phytoextraction ability was assessed in terms of bio concentration factor (BCF) and transfer factor (TF). The BCF values of C. procera for Pb in EDTA and CA amended soils and the BCF of C. procera and J. curcas for Pb in control were less than 1 (BCF < 1) but greater than 1 (BCF > 1) for J. curcas in EDTA and CA amended soils. The obtained TF values showed that the removal of Pb by C. procera and J. curcas in EDTA and CA amended soils and C. procera in control was by phytoextraction while Pb removal by J. curcas in control was removed Pb by phytostabilization. .
