dc.description.abstract | This paper deals with the removal of heavy metals from marginal soil mixtures from the Cobre Las Cruces and
Aznalcóllar mining areas containing high concentrations of metals (Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Pb and As) by
means of phytoremediation using Jatropha curcas L., and the subsequent production of biocatalysts from the
plant biomass. First, J. curcas L. was sowed in eight mixtures of these mining soils to study its adaption to these
high-contaminated soils and its growth during 60 days in a greenhouse under conditions simulating the South of
Spain's spring climate. Later, the most suitable soil mixtures for plant growth were used for 120-day phytoremediation under the same conditions. Heavy metal concentration in soils, roots, stems and leaves were measured by ICP-OES at the beginning, at the middle and at the end of the phytoremediation period, thus calculating
the translocation and bioaccumulation factors. J. curcas L. was found to absorb great amounts of Fe
(> 3000 mg kg−1 plant) as well as notable amounts of Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr and Ni, and traces of As. Other metals with
lower initial concentrations such as Cd, Hg and Sn were completely removed from soils. Finally, the plant
biomass was subjected to pyrolysis to obtain catalytic biocarbons, assessing the optimal temperature for the
pyrolytic process by means of thermogravimetric analysis and Raman spectroscopy. | es |
