We compared four methods to extract arsenic (As) from three different plants containing different As levels for As speciation with the goal of developing a more efficient method, i.e., As-hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata at 459-7714mgkg(-1), rice seedling at 53.4-574mgkg(-1), and tobacco leaf at 0.32-0.35mgkg(-1). The four methods included heating with dilute HNO3, and sonication with phosphate ...

Pteris vittata is a hyperaccumulator fern able to uptake arsenic by roots accumulating it in the fronds. Recent studies showed that can be used efficiently for arsenic-contaminated water treatment, paving way long-lasting decontamination strategies established on nature-based solutions. This raises issue of biomass disposal, which rather than being incinerated could represent valuable untapped ...

This paper reviews research on phytoremediation (2002–2021), particularly for the estimation of plant efficiency and soil pollution indices, examining extraction metals from plants growing under both artificial (spiked with specific metal) natural conditions. From analysis >200 published experimental results, it was found that contamination factor geo-accumulation index as well translocation...
