    A green algae Cladophora fracta for accumulation of toxic/harmful pollutants causing environmental pollution in mine gallery waters

    Topal, M.; Arslan Topal, E.I.; Öbek, E.

    In the present study, the bioaccumulation of toxic/harmful pollutants (Fe, Pb, As, Cd, Cr, Ba, and Mn) by Cladophora fracta in mine gallery water was investigated. For this aim, the reactors planted with C. fracta were placed into mine gallery waters. Bioconcentration factor (BCF), metal pollution index (MPI), and accumulation capacity values were determined. According to the obtained results, the highest concentrations of Cr, Mn, Fe, Ba, Pb, Cd, and As were determined as 24.3 ± 1.2, 858 ± 27, 26,290 ± 87, 11.4 ± 0.6, 117.05 ± 5.8, 47.9 ± 1.4, and 2390.3 ± 11 mg/kg, respectively. BCF values were Fe > Pb > As > Cd > Cr > Ba > Mn. The MPI values of toxic/harmful pollutants according to days were determined as day 1 > 5 > 7 > 2 > 6 > 4 > 3, respectively. As a result, it was determined that C. fracta, which was placed in the mine gallery and exposed to the gallery waters, was effective in removing toxic/harmful pollutants. Therefore, C. fracta can be used as an alternative treatment material for the removal of toxic/harmful pollutants in mine gallery waters.

    Uptake of some elements with aquatic plants exposed to the effluent of wastewater treatment plant

    Tatar, S.; Öbek, E.; Arslan Topal, E.I.; Topal, M.

    In this study, in the removal of macro (P, S, Na, K, Ca, Mg) and micro (Sb, Ba, Co, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Hg, Mo, Se, Ag, Zn) elements in the effluent of Elazig Wastewater Treatment Plant, the efficiency of Lemna minor L. and Lemna gibba L. has been studied comparatively. For this aim, fronds of these plants have been adapted to the effluent of the treatment plant that feeds pilot scale reactors. The concentrations of elements in fronds harvested during the working period were analyzed by ICP/MS. The analytical results show that Lemna minor L. has a high accumulation potential for P, Sb, Ba, Co, Fe, Pb, Mn, Hg, Ag and Zn while Lemna gibba L. has a high accumulation potential for S, Na, Ca, Mg, Cu, Mo and Se. The results show that Lemna minor L. and Lemna gibba L. can be used as phytoremediators of wastewater.
