Ricinus communis L. is a bioenergetic crop with high-biomass production and tolerance to cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), thus, the plant is a candidate crop for phytoremediation. Pot experiments were performed to study the effects of citric acid in enhancing phytoextraction of Cd/Pb by Ricinus communis L. Citric acid increased Cd and Pb contents in plant shoots in all treatments by about 78% and 18-45%, respectively, at the dosage of 10 mM kg(-1) soil without affecting aboveground biomass production. Addition of citric acid reduced CEC, weakened soil adsorption of heavy metals and activated Cd and Pb in soil solutions. The acid-exchangeable fraction (BCR-1) of Pb remained lower than 7% and significantly increased with citric acid amendment. Respective increases in soil evaluation index induces by 14% and 19% under the Cd1Pb50 and Cd1Pb250 treatments upon addition of citric acid resulted in soil quality improvement. Ricinus communis L. has great potential in citric acid-assisted phytoextraction for Cd and Pb remediation.
蓖麻是一种具有高生物量产量且对镉(Cd)和铅(Pb)具有耐受性的生物能源作物,因此,该植物是植物修复的候选作物。进行盆栽试验以研究柠檬酸对增强蓖麻对Cd/Pb的植物提取作用的影响。在土壤中添加10 mM kg(-1)的柠檬酸时,所有处理中植物地上部的Cd和Pb含量分别增加了约78%和18 - 45%,且不影响地上部生物量的生产。添加柠檬酸降低了阳离子交换量(CEC),减弱了土壤对重金属的吸附,并活化了土壤溶液中的Cd和Pb。Pb的酸可交换态(BCR-1)含量仍低于7%,但随着柠檬酸的添加显著增加。在Cd1Pb50和Cd1Pb250处理下,添加柠檬酸后土壤评价指数分别提高了14%和19%,从而改善了土壤质量。蓖麻在柠檬酸辅助植物提取修复Cd和Pb方面具有巨大潜力。
