Phytoremediation helps not only to stabilize erosion but also to extract metals from mine waste. The present study aimed to identify naturally-growing hyperaccumulator plants in mining areas. Plants growing naturally in copper mining areas of Kolihan and different locations of Khetri, a town in Jhunjunu district of Rajasthan, India were selected for the study. Different samples collected from mining sites were analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. More copper accumulation was observed in the leaves of Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. and Ailanthus excelsa Roxb. than in the twigs. Leaves and twigs of P. juliflora showed a 42-and 8-fold increase in the amount of copper, 775.29 g g-1 and 146.8 g g-1 , respectively than plants growing on metal contamination-free soil (controls). The present results indicate that these plants could be hyperaccumulators and possibly be used for the removal of Cu from contaminated sites. The distribution of other metals such as Mn, Zn and Fe was also studied. A high Transfer Coefficient of 6 was observed in P. juliflora leaves of Khetri site " A " (near temple Mata mandir) while it was 4.65 in A. excelsa for Zn.
Phytoextraction, the use of plants to extract toxic metals from contaminated soils, has emerged as a cost effective, environment friendly clean up alternative. The present study aimed to find a suitable plants species for use in cleaning up Cu from copper contaminated soil. Soil is artificially polluted by different concentration of Cu and the effects were studied in four verities of plant Triticumaestivum L (corn),Abelmoschusesculentus L, Basella alba L, and Solanumlycopersicum L (vegetables) from different family Poaceae, Malvaceae, Basellaceae and Solanaceae respectively those usually abundantly grow in Bangladesh. Atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) was used for analysis of heavy metal in soil and plant samples.Results demonstrated that plant species were differing significantly in Cu uptake. Wheat plants (Triticumaestivum L) were more tolerant to the conditions tested with the highest dry matter production and no visual toxicity symptoms. The efficiency of Cu uptake from soil by Triticumaestivum L was observed by roots (803.14 mg kg-1) and shoots (418.43 mg kg-1). Triticumaestivum L totally accumulated 1221.57 mg kg-1 in dry weight and demonstrated as a hyper accumulator, other plants were not accumulated copper as higher as wheat. Thus Triticumaestivum L can be used for remediation of Cu polluted area.
