The Analysis of Adsorptive Ability of Pb, Cd by Acorus calamus

Abstract:

The article analyzed the adsorptive ability of acorus calamus to Pb,Cd in soil through pot experiment. The results show that with the increase of concentration of this two kinds of heavy metals,the growth of acorus calamus have been obviously affected.The concentration of two kinds of heavy metals in the acorus calamus root is far more than in the cauline leaf,which show that acorus calamus have very strong retention effect on these five kinds of heavy metals. As acorus calamus absorb the Pb much more than Cd can be seen through the experiment.
