Assessment of Phytoremediation Ability of Prosopis juliflora and Conocarpus lancifolius on Heavy Metals Contamination of Soils in Jeddah City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia| Chapter 10 | Research Aspects in Chemical and Materials Sciences Vol. 4

 The present study aims towards judging  phytoremediation ability of  Prosopis juliflora and Conocarpus lanceolins on burdensome metals (chromium, lead, and smaller currency in exchange for larger)  contaminations of soils at  different districts in Jeddah. Soil samples were captured from same plant sites, familiar factories, main roads, and arm roads and from a apartment (as control). Soil texture, pH, and EC and the amount of Cr, Pb, and Ni were supposed for two together plants and soils.  Results revealed that, soil makeup is mainly ammophilous (78.5-96.5%, 1.0-16.5% sediment, and 1.0-6.0 clay). The amount of sounds that are pleasant in soil of Prosopis juliflora sites were middle from two points 0.74-54.0μg/g D.wt. for Cr, 0.31-4.64 μg/g D.wt. for Pb and 1.22-24.5 μg/g D.wt. for Ni. The range of Cr, Pb and Ni in the leaves was between 0.04-13.3.0μg/g D.wt. for Cr, 0.06-20.0 μg/g D.wt. for Pb and 0.16-9.0μg/g D.wt. for Ni. For the soil of Conocarpus lanceolins, the EC categorized 'tween 0.27- 1.05 mS/cm; whereas, pH categorized from 7.29-7.55. this indicated the phytoremediation strength of these two variety in reducing burdensome details in soil and absorbing ruling class in their leaves. . Phytoremediation is an effective method to overcome the belongings of heavy metals containing Cr, Pb, and Ni that are being fascinated in plants.
