The comparative effectiveness for hexavalent chromium reduction and removal from irrigation water, using three selected plant species (Phragmites australis,Salix viminalis, andAilanthus altissima) planted in soil contaminated with hexavalent chromium, has been studied in the present work. The above plant species were irrigated, in a continuous mode, with water, contaminated with 10 mg/L of hexavalent chromium. Hexavalent chromium and total chromium have been measured in all plant tissues species and in the drainage water. Total chromium removal from water was ranging from 56 % (Phragmites) to 70 % (Salix). After 360 days of growth, the chromium content of the contaminated soil dropped from 70 (initial) to 32, 36, and 41 mg Cr/kg(dry soil), forSalix,Phragmites, andAilanthus, respectively.SalixandPhragmitesaccumulated the highest amount of chromium in the roots (2,029 and 1,800 mg Cr/kg(dry tissue), respectively), compared with 358 mg Cr/kg(dry tissue)forAilanthusroots. Most of chromium was found in trivalent form in all plant tissues.Ailanthushad the lowest affinity for CrVIreduction in the root tissues.Phragmitesindicated the highest chromium translocation potential, from roots to stems, whileSalixindicated the highest chromium translocation from roots to leaves. Toxicity effects, expressed as root growth rate inhibition, indicated thatSalixis the most chromium-tolerant species, withAilanthusin the antipode.
