Effects of a Solid Waste Containing Cr(VI) Detoxified with Biomass on the Germination of Seeds

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of a solid waste containing Cr (VI) (SWCC) detoxified with orange peel (OP) and pineapple peel (PP) on the development of seeds were investigated. The results show that PP does better than OP. In the composites of PP, SWCC and soils, all the tested seeds (peanut, maize, green Chinese cabbage, soybean and garlic) grow if SWCC content is lower than 10%. The seeds, however, indicated variant resistance to SWCC, and garlic behaved best. It is possible to grow vegetables or plants with the composites of biomass, SWCC and soils, but it is also necessary to optimize the proportions for each of the kinds.
