The remediation performances of heavy metals contaminaged sediment by hydrophytes including Alternanthera Philoxeroides, Canna indica L., Nymphaea tetragona, Typha orientalis, Phragmites australis, Phragmites australis, Hydrilla verticillata, Cyperus alternifolius L., Eichhornia crassipes, Acorus tatarinowii, Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop were investigated through batch pot experiments. The results showed that the enrichment effect of Pb was better in Alternanthera Philoxeroides and Acorus tatarinowii with the BCFs of 4.42 and 1.22, and the TFs of 7.84 and 4.23, respectively. The Cr enrichment effects by Nymphaea tetragona, Hydrilla verticillata and Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms were better, which BCFs were 2.69, 1.91 and 3.71, and which TFs were 7.93, 2.07 and 2.18, respectively.

Analysis on the concentrations of Pb, Cu in the roots, stems, leaves of phragmites australis which grows on Lingang New City of Shanghai showed that both of Pb, Cu in roots were higher concentrations than that in stems and leaves; the absorption of Pb,Cu had obvious seasonal variation; in winter, the enrichment of Pb, Cu in phranmites autralis was occurred and the enrichment ability of Pb was higher than Cu,

In this study, Phragmites australis (common reed) was transplanted into solutions added with different concentrations of Mn, Zn, Cd, Pb, and As for 30 days in the laboratory (10 days of incubation and repeated three times without changing the plant) to assess the removal of these metals and its accumulation in the plant. The results showed that high removal efficiency was achieved by growing P.australis. The highest daily removal rates of heavy metals and As were obtained after 1 day of new solution addition. The highest concentrations of Mn, Zn, Cd, Pb, and As in the plant roots were 3920, 1020, 90.9, 1350, and 183 mg kg–1 dry wt., respectively; those in the stems were 465, 108, 26.4, 227, and 74.0 mg kg–1 dry wt.; and those in the leaves were 716, 150, 18.1, 157, and 88.3 mg kg–1 dry wt. The results of this study indicated that P. australis has the ability to remove simultaneously these metals from water, making it a potential species for phytoremediation of wastewater from Pb-Zn mine.

Abstract One of the greatest environmental issues related to the development of the mining activity is the generation of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). This effluent generated by active and abandoned mines in Peru produces multiple discussions about the role of the industry for a sustainable development. Many methods have been developed for AMD treatment, being wetlands a good option for heavy metal removal. In this sense, removal of heavy metal by using laboratory constructed wetlands with Phragmites Australis was studied. During a 9-day period the variation of different physicochemical parameters and heavy metals concentrations was recorded. The pH decreased to a constant value of 8.24 after the sixth day. The electrical conductivity presented a slight variation from 1 to 1.33 µS cm-1 on the ninth day. Moreover, fluctuating values of Dissolved Oxygen and Turbidity were observed. A reduction between 69% and 93% of ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) was registered. Cu concentration was reduced in 68% and 87%; Zn concentrations dropped in 53% and 95%; and Pb was reduced in 20% and 55%. It was concluded that Phragmites Australis can be an alternative in the treatment of the contaminants produced by AMD.
