In the present research, the chemical washing method has been selected using three chelating agents: citric acid, acetic acid and Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) to remove 137Cs from two different contaminated soil samples were classified as fine and coarse grained. The factors that affecting removal efficiency such as type of soil, mixing ratio and molarity have been investigated. The results revealed that no correlation relation was found between removal efficiency and the studied factors. The results also showed that conventional chemical washing method was not effective in removing 137Cs and that there are further studies still need to achieve this objective.

Effect of EDTA and EDDS on phytoremediation of Pb- and Zn- contaminated soil by Brassica Juncea was investigated in this work. Especially, the effect of the kind and the method of adding chelating agent was investigated during the plant growth. Plants were grown in an environmental control system. The biomass of the whole plant was weighed, and the uptake of Pb and Zn in shoot and root were determined using ICP-AES. Consequently, the following matters have been obtained: (1) Both EDTA and EDDS significantly enhanced the translocation of metals (Pb and Zn) in soil from root to shoot. Furthermore, the two chelating agents resulted in a sharply biomass loss for more than 30% of the control. As a result, the total uptake amount of metals by Brassica Juncea was decreased (except the uptake of Pb with the addition of 3.0 mmol•kg-1 EDTA). (2) EDDS showed the higher inhibition for the growth of Brassica Juncea than EDTA. (3) The method for adding EDTA and EDDS at several times separately did not necessarily increase the uptake of heavy metals.
