PHYTOEXTRACTION IN AN ARTIFICIAL SOIL POLLUTED WITH LEAD. THIRD EXPERIMENTAL CYCLE

Abstract

This study concerns the research relating lead mobilization from artificially polluted
soil by using EDTA ligand (ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid).
Experimental research in Green House were designed to check the reproducibility
of analysed parameters on the selected plant (maize) and the conclusions of the
preliminary test laboratory experiments.
The checking consisted in two experiments achievement with 2 degrees ofartificial
loading soil with Pb: 1000 mg Pb/kg soil and concentration of EDTA in ratio Ligand/Lead
between 0 and 0.5 and 2000 mg Pb / kg soil and ratio Ligand/Lead between 0 and 0.4 and three growing cycles (Cycle 1, Cycle 2 - residual effect, Cycle 3 - residual effect).
The paper will present experimental results obtained in Cycle 3, remanent effect.
