The potential of Mikania micrantha (Chinese creeper) to hyperaccumulate heavy metals in soil contaminated by electronic waste
2019
Overview
The objective of this study is to investigate the contributions of
Mikania micrantha
(chinese creeper) to remediate heavy metal pollutants present in an e-waste-contaminated soil. Different proportions of e-waste soil (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% w/w) planted with
Cynodon dactylon
together with the test species were prepared for testing relative seed germination (RSG), relative root growth (RRG), and germination index (GI) tests. A significant higher value of GI (77.8%) was found in
M. micrantha
than that of the other species when planting in 100% e-waste-contaminated soil
.
A significant correlation (< 0.05) was found between heavy metal concentration and germination assays in
M. micrantha.
A significant decrease in heavy metal concentration of the polluted soil after the experiment indicated that biomolecule development studies to determine the aggregate benefit of
M. micrantha
for phytoremediation remain to be studied in future.
