| Abstract | Phytoremediation is an important technique used in soil and water decontamination, as being used in the removal, containment and reduction of heavy metals and organic compounds. This essay aims to evaluate the efficiency of Crotalaria spectabilis on phytoremediation of soils contaminated by the toxic heavy metals Cd and Pb. The used borderline was completely randomized: five dosages with four repetitions. The treatments utilized were “control”, “prevention level Cd 1.3 mg kg -1” , “intervention level Cd 3.0 mg kg -1” , “prevention level Pb 72 mg kg -1” and “intervention level Pb 180 mg kg -1” . The plants were kept in soil for 90 days, and the quantification of Pb and Cd metal dosage in its dry biomass was made through spectrophotometry of atomic absorption, “flame” mode. The plants had high rate of survival in contaminated soil by Cd and Pb with reductions on growth and production of dry biomass. All the treatments have shown Pb contents in dry biomass of the plant aerial part. For Cd metal, dry biomass dosages were not found. It is concluded that C. spectabilis is able to store the heavy metal Pb in vegetable tissue of the aerial part, being potentially able to be used as phytoremediation of areas contaminated by these metals. |
