JF  - Proceeding of International Conference On Research, Implementation And Education Of Mathematics And Sciences 2014,
N2  - The potential of microhydroxyapatite (MHA) and nanohydroxyapatite (NHA) to
immobilise heavy metals in a 25-year old active firing range soil was investigated.
The effects of immobilisation were evaluated in terms of metal accumulation in
water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) and soil metal bioavailability. A pot trial was
conducted by amending firing range soil with MHA and NHA at application rates of
0%, 1% and 3% (w/w). Both amendments increased biomass yield and reduced plant
metal uptake. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) values of the metals were in the
order of Zn > Cu > Pb. The bioavailable fraction of Cu, Pb and Zn in firing range
soil decreased significantly (p < 0.05) following MHA and NHA treatments. No
toxicity symptoms were observed in water spinach over the pot trial. Therefore,
MHA and NHA are two promising immobilising agents for the remediation of metal
contaminated land.
