Phytoremediation of PAHs(pyrene) Contaminated Soils through mangroves

Hsieh, Yun-chu 17 July 2008 (has links)
In this study,we used mangrove phytoremediation ecotechniques to treat polycyclic aromtic hydrocarbons (pyrene) contaminated soil. First, we compared the four species of mangroves in Taiwan, Kandelia candel Druce, Rhizophora stylosa Griff, Avicennia marina Vierh and Lumnitzera racemosa Willd, inoculated by endomycorrhizae in no contaminated soils. According to the experimental results, the four species of mangroves could be colonized by Glomus aggregatum and Glomus mosseae. In colonization rate and colonization intensity, Glomus aggregatum were found higher than those of Glomus mosseae. For the degradation efficiencies of pyrene in soils, according to the experimental results, we found that the Lumnitzera racemosa Willd exhibited best growing conditions among the four species. The degradation rates for all tests systems pyrene were measured above 90% . In accordance with passed study, the species of Kandelia candel Druce presented effective efficiencics for pyrene degradation. The speacis of Lumnitzera racemosa Willd and Kandelia candel Druce were planted in the artifical pyrene contaminated soils, which were incubated in a greenhouse , while the control systems without vegetation were used for comparison. After 90 days of incubation, the experimental result showed that the soils planted with Lumnitzera racemosa Willd and Kandelia candel Druce were found able to enhance the microbial and dehydrogenase activities. The addition of Glomus aggregatum could help plants to prevent from the stress of pyrene. The addition of salinity into the siols was a pressure for mangroves so the mangroves, incoculated by endomycorrhizae showed stronger dependence on mycorrhizal fungi than those in the siols of no salinity. In salty siol, mangroves exhibited high effective degradation rates for pyrene. In the siols for the illumination groups, the pyrene degradation rates for all test systems were measured about 85%. The siols for the dark groups showed that the average pyrene degradation rates were about 70%.
