Article Abstract
Copper mining drives economic growth, with the global demand expected to reach 120 million metric tons annually by 2050. However, mining produces tailings containing heavy metals (HMs), which poses environmental risks. This study investigated the efficacy of phytoremediation (Phy) combined with electrokinetic treatment (EKT) to increase metal uptake in grown in tailings from the Metropolitan Region of Chile. The plants were exposed to varying voltages and treatment durations. In the control (no EKT), the root metal contents were Fe (1008.41 mg/kg) > Cu (176.38 mg/kg) > Mn (103.73 mg/kg) > Zn (30.26 mg/kg), whereas in the shoots, the order was Mn (48.69 mg/kg) > Cu (21.14 mg/kg) > Zn (17.67 mg/kg) > Fe (27.32 mg/kg). The optimal EKT (15 V for 8 h) significantly increased metal uptake, with roots accumulating Fe (5997.24 mg kg) > Mn (672 mg kg) > Cu (547.68 mg kg) > Zn (90.99 mg kg), whereas shoots contained Fe (1717.95 mg kg) > Mn (930 mg kg) > Cu (219.47 mg kg) > Zn (58.48 mg kg). Although EKT enhanced plant growth and biomass, higher voltages stressed the plants. Longer treatments were more effective, suggesting that EK-Phy is a promising method for remediating metal-contaminated tailings.

Two series of robust pillared metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are obtained under solvothermal conditions by combining a metal salt with either Hbpdc, biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid, or Hpda, 1,4-phenylenediacrylic acid, forming 2D layers, which are pillared by L, an alloxazine derivative of 1,4-di(pyridin-4-yl)benzene using a one-pot three-component strategy. Crystallographic studies reveal the formation of two isomorphous series of compounds, namely 1-M (from Hbpdc with M = Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) and 2-M (from Hpda with M = Co or Cu). The multifunctional compounds have high decomposition temperatures, and their sorption properties were measured, revealing relatively low surface areas.

The widespread coexistence of chiral herbicides and heavy metals (HMs) in agricultural soils poses significant ecological risks to crop safety, yet their combined ecotoxicological effects are not well understood. This study systematically investigated the enantiomer-specific effects of napropamide (R/S-NAP) on plant HMs accumulation. Results showed that S-NAP application reduced plant biomass and HMs accumulation, while R-NAP exhibited distinct effects, increasing root biomass and HMs accumulation in roots.

This study aimed to elucidate the effects of arsenic species [As(III)/As(V)] and cadmium [Cd(II)] on nitrification and nitrogen fixation in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) cultivation, and to identify nitrogen cycle disruption mechanisms in realistic soil environments with a focus on soil-metal-plant-microbe interactions. We examined heavy metal(loid)s uptake in plant tissues, changes in nitrogen species in porewater, nitrogenase activity, the contents of essential trace metals (Mo and Fe) in nitrogenase, and nitrogen-related microbial communities.
