Microbial immobilization is considered as a novel and environmentally friendly technology that uses microbes to reduce heavy metals accumulation in plants. To explore microbial resources which are useful in these applications, three water spinach rhizosphere soils polluted by different levels of heavy metals (heavy pollution (CQ), medium pollution (JZ), and relative clean (NF)) were collected. The community composition of heavy metal-immobilizing bacteria in rhizosphere soils and its effects on reducing the Cd2+ and Pb2+ concentrations in water spinach were evaluated. Four hundred strains were isolated from the CQ (belonging to 3 phyla and 14 genera), JZ (belonging to 4 phyla and 25 genera) and NF (belonged to 6 phyla and 34 genera) samples, respectively. In the CQ sample, 137 strains showed a strong ability to immobilize Cd2+ and Pb2+, giving Cd2+ and Pb2+ removal rates of greater than 80% in solution; Brevundimonas, Serratia, and Pseudoarthrobacter were the main genera. In total, 62 strains showed a strong ability to immobilize Cd2+ and Pb2+ in the JZ sample and Bacillus and Serratia were the main genera. A total of 22 strains showed a strong ability to immobilize Cd2+ and Pb2+ in the NF sample, and Bacillus was the main genus. Compared to the control, Enterobacter bugandensis CQ-7, Bacillus thuringensis CQ-33, and Klebsiella michiganensis CQ-169 significantly increased the dry weight (17.16–148%) of water spinach and reduced the contents of Cd2+ (59.78–72.41%) and Pb2+ (43.36–74.21%) in water spinach. Moreover, the soluble protein and Vc contents in the shoots of water spinach were also significantly increased (72.1–193%) in the presence of strains CQ-7, CQ-33 and CQ-169 compared to the control. In addition, the contents of Cd and Pb in the shoots of water spinach meet the standard for limit of Cd2+ and Pb2+ in vegetables in the presence of strains CQ-7, CQ-33 and CQ-169. Thus, the results provide strains as resources and a theoretical basis for the remediation of Cd- and Pb-contaminated farmlands for the safe production of vegetables.

ABSTRAKPerkembangan industri yang semakin pesat secara tidak langsung menimbulkan pencemaran lingkungan di sekitarnya. Salah satunya adalah pencemaran tanah oleh logam berat yang dihasilkan dari hasil industri tersebut. Metode yang dapat digunakan untuk meremediasi lahan tercemar yaitu dengan menggunakan tanaman (fitoremediasi). Jarak pagar (Jatropha curcas) merupakan tanaman tahunan dari famili Euphorbiaceae yang umumnya digunakan sebagai tanaman penghasil biodiesel, tanaman pembatas pagar dan tanaman hias. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengkaji kemampuan jarak pagar dalam meremediasi Cd: untuk mengetahui pengaruh Cd terhadap tinggi tanaman dan luas daun; dan nilai persentase reduksi tanah yang tercemar Cd; dan nilai persentase akumulasi logam Cd dalam jarak pagar. Penelitian eksperimental ini dilakukan dengan menggunakantanah taman; limbah Cd buatan dengan konsentrasi 5 ppm, 15 ppm, 25 ppm, 35 ppm dan 45 ppm; dan Spektrofotometer Serapan Atom (AAS) untuk pengujian logam berat Cd pada tanaman jarak pagar. Data yangdiperoleh dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Cd berpengaruh terhadap tinggi tanaman dan luas daun; nilai persentase reduksi tanah tercemar Cd yaitu sebesar 76-91%; jarak pagar mempunyai kemampuan dalam mengakumulasi Cd; dan nilai persentase akumulasi logam Cd dalam jarak pagar adalah 46-125%.Kata kunci: Logam Berat Cd, Jarak pagar (Jatropha curcas), FitoremediasiABSTRACTThe rapid development of the industry indirectly lead to pollution of the surrounding environment. One of them is the contamination of the soil by the heavy metals resulting from the industry. The method that can be used to remediate contaminated land is by using plants (called phytoremediation). Jatropha curcas plant is an annual plant of the Euphorbiaceae family that is commonly used as a biodiesel producing plant, fence limiting plants and as ornamental plants. The purpose of this research is to assessing the ability of Jatropha curcas in remediating Cd; to know the effect of Cd on plant height and leaf area; and the percentage value of Cd contaminated soil reduction; and the percentage value of Cd metal accumulation in Jatropha curcas. This experimental study was conducted using garden land; artificial Cd waste with concentration 5 ppm, 15 ppm, 25 ppm, 35 ppm and 45 ppm; and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) for testing of heavy metal Cd onJatropha curcas. Data obtained from this research indicate that Cd effect on plant height and leaf area; the percentage value of contaminated soil reduction Cd is equal to 76-91%; Jatropha curcas has the ability toaccumulate Cd; and the percentage value of Cd metal accumulation in Jatropha curcas is 46-125 %.Key Words: : Heavy Metal Cd, Jatropha curcas Plant, Phytoremediation

In this paper, two kinds of different pollution degree soils denoted as L1 and L2 were used as test soils. Desorption experiment was carried out to study the impacts of pH and electrolyte on desorption characteristics of cadmium (Cd) in soils. The results showed that the variation trends of Cd desorption rates with increase in pH were similar. In other words, it decreased as pH increased. In acidic region, desorption rate of heavy metal Cd decreased rapidly as pH increased. When pH = 4, Cd desorption rate was largest; in neutral and alkaline regions (pH = 7-10), desorption rate of heavy metal Cd decreased slowly as pH increases. Cd desorption behavior was closely related to type and concentration of electrolyte. Under the same concentration, Cd desorption capabilities of three electrolytes in soils L1 and L2 could be expressed in following order: CaCl2> Ca (NO3)2> NaCl.

AbstractChromium (Cr) is a common toxic heavy metal that is widely used in all kinds of industries, causing a series of environmental problems. Nanoscale zero- valent iron (nZVI) is considered to be an ideal remediation material for contaminated soil, especially for heavy metal pollutants. As a material of low toxicity and good activity, nZVI has been widely applied in the in situ remediation of soil hexavalent chromium (Cr(vi)) with mobility and toxicity in recent years. In this paper, some current technologies for the preparation of nZVI are summarized and the remediation mechanism of Cr(vi)-contaminated soil is proposed. Five classified modified nZVI materials are introduced and their remediation processes in Cr(vi)-contaminated soil are summarized. Key factors affecting the remediation of Cr(vi)-contaminated soil by nZVI are studied. Interaction mechanisms between nZVI-based materials and Cr(vi) are explored. This study provides a comprehensive review of the nZVI materials for the remediation of Cr(vi)-contaminated soil, which is conducive to reducing soil pollution.
