Dabaoshan Mine

The passage set the soils along the river of Dabaoshan mine of Shaoguan city as the research object for heavy metal contamination by means of field investigation and test analysis.Five representative areas were selected,such as liang-qiao village,shui-louxia village,shi-zhuxia village,shang-ba village and xiaba village from upriver to downriver .The concentration of heavy metals including Cd Cr Pb Cu Ni and Zn were evaluated.The methods of establishing fuzzy mathematical models were employed to evaluate the heavy metal element contamination of superficial sediment. Using this method,the extent of pollution increased as follows , liangqiao>shuilouxia>shangba village,the soil quality in these sites were both over the Grade III. And xiaba village>shizhuxia,the soil quality were Grade II.

Limestone Soil

The heavy metal elements analysis had been carried out for the limestone soils collected from Suzhou area, the degree of heavy metals pollution were evaluated by such methods as enrichment factor and geoaccumulation index, and the correlation and principal analysis of the testing results were studied based on SPSS. The results showed that the heavy metals of the samples can be subdivided into tow type: the Pb、Zn and Cr are below the first quality standard level, the Cu and As are between the first and second level of quality standard, the heavy metal element pollution degree were as follows: Cu>As>Cr>Zn>Pb>V. The V and Zr are controlled by the contamination of the detrital; the Pb, Sr and As are controlled by the source rock (limestone); the third factor contain the Zn, Cu and Al, which showed the effect by agriculture.

Abstract The study investigated the level of heavy metal contamination in plants {maize (Zea mays) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)} from thirty soil samples of three locations (Epe, Igun and Ijana) in the Ilesha gold mining area, Osun State, Nigeria. Total concentrations of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Spatial variations were observed for all metals across the locations which was adduced to pH and the clay contents of the soils of each location. The results showed that heavy metals are more concentrated in the areas that are closer to the mining site and the concentrations in soil and plants (maize and tomato) decreased with increasing perpendicular distance from the mining site, indicating that the gold mine was the main sources of pollution. The mean concentrations of heavy metals in plants (tomato and maize) samples were considered to be contaminated as As, Cd and Pb respectively ranged from 0.6 - 2.04 mg kg-1, 0.8 - 5.2 mg kg-1, 0.8 - 3.04 mg kg-1 for tomato and respectively 0.60 - 2.00 mg kg-1, 1.50 - 4.60 mg kg-1 and 0.90 - 2.50 mg kg-1 for maize. These levels exceeded the maximum permissible limits set by FAO/WHO for vegetables. In conclusion, monitoring of crops for toxic heavy metals is essential for food safety in Nigeria.

Contamination Of Soils

As a result of accidental spills or leaks, industrial wastes may enter in soil and in streams. Some of the contaminants may not be completely removed by treatment processes; therefore, they could become a problem for these sources. The use of synthetic products (e.g. pesticides, paints, batteries, industrial waste, and land application of industrial or domestic sludge) can result in heavy metal contamination of soils.

The purpose of this paper is to study the speciation and contents of two types of heavy metals (Cd and Hg) in the sediments in Power Bridge (D1) and Nanshui Bridge (N2) in the middle part of the Ancient Canal in Zhenjiang. The relationship between the speciation of these heavy metals and their environmental factors were described. Morerover, the ecological hazard and trace to the source of these two types of heavy metals was also determined preliminarily. The results showed that (1) the main heavy metal contamination in the sediments of Power Bridge and Nanshui Bridge is Cd, and the average value is 20 mg/Kg, 17 mg/Kg, respectively, which were higher than environmental background value;(2) The peak value of Hg and Cd were near equilibrium in the 0.1-0.2m depth of Sediments; (3) Calculate the individual potential ecological risk index in the sediments of heavy metal element of two sample points both quantity of contents are Cd>Hg. And visible ecological threat of heavy metals were from Cd. After removing the Cd value, the RI value showed that ecological harm index basically below mild ecological harm degree.

It introduces a kind of technique method that recycling sylvite zinc plating waste liquid laboratory, involving the fields in electroplating and comprehensive utilization of waste liquid. It includes the following steps: first add hydrogen peroxide and activated carbon into waste liquid to remove the organic matter in it, and then reduce the solution’s temperature with refrigeration film, and filter out the solid contents. Add NaOH solid, NaHSO3 into the solution, through chemical reactions, precipitate the heavy metal element, and finally get distilled water through distillation. It can make the recycled materials be reused, such as distilled water, boric acid, etc., and as to nonrecyclables, such as heavy metal ions (Cu2+, Cr3+), bury them deep that disposing harmless.

Metagenomic Approach

Abstract The inappropriate disposal of toxic compounds generated by industrial activity has been impacting to the environment considerably. Microbial communities inhabiting contaminated sites may represent interesting ecological alternatives for the decontamination of environments. The present work aimed to investigate the fungal diversity inhabiting sediments from industrial waste containing heavy metals by using metagenomic approach. A total of twelve fungal orders were retrieved from datasets and, at phylum level, Ascomycota was the most abundant, followed by Basidiomycota, Chytridiomycota and Blastocladiomycota. Higher abundance of sequences was encountered within the less contaminated site, while the lower abundance was found in the sample with the higher contamination with lead. Gene sequences related to DNA repair and heavy metals biosorption processes were found in the four samples analyzed. The genera Aspergillus and Chaetomium, and Saccharomycetales order were highly present within all samples, showing their potential to be used for bioremediation studies. The present work demonstrated the importance of using the metagenomic approach to understand the dynamics of fungal communities and their behavior under heavy metal contamination, aiming the use in bioremediation processes of environments contaminated with heavy metals.
