With the increasing demand for electronic devices, e-waste containing hazardous heavy metals is becoming a major environmental threat. This study evaluates the phytoremediation potential of Cyperus rotundus L. in soils contaminated with battery scrap waste (BSW), specifically for the heavy metals cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). The results showed that BSW mixing significantly increased the heavy metal content in the soil, resulting in reduced growth and biochemical traits of C. rotundus. However, C. rotundus was found to be a hyperaccumulator plant capable of absorbing Cd and Pb, making it a potential candidate for phytoremediation of BSW-contaminated soils.
With the increasing demand for electronic devices that use batteries, e-waste is also becoming a major threat to the environment. Battery e-waste contains hazardous heavy metals that affect the health of the soil ecosystem. Thus, the present study evaluates the cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) phytoextraction potential of coco grass (Cyperus rotundus L.) grown in soils contaminated with battery scrap waste (BSW). Pot experiments were conducted to grow C. rotundus under different treatments (0%: control, T1: 1%, T2: 2%, T3: 3%, and T4: 4%) of BSW mixed with soil (w/w). The results showed that BSW mixing significantly (p < 0.05) increased the physicochemical properties and heavy metal (Cd and Pb) content in the soil. BSW mixing resulted in a reduction in growth and biochemical traits of C. rotundus and an increase in oxidative stress enzymes with an increase in BSW dose. The Pearson correlation studies also showed that soil HM concentration had a negative influence on the growth and biochemical parameters of C. rotundus. The bioaccumulation and translocation factor analysis showed that C. rotundus was a hyperaccumulator plant with a maximum accumulation of Cd and Pb (38.81 and 109.06 mg & BULL;kg(-1)) in root parts followed by the whole plant (277.43 and 76.10 mg & BULL;kg(-1)) and shoot (21.30 and 22.65 mg & BULL;kg(-1)) parts. Moreover, predictive models based on multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) approaches were developed for Cd and Pb uptake by C. rotundus. Mathematical modeling results showed that soil properties were useful to construct quality MLR and ANN models with good determination coefficient (R-2 > 0.98), model efficiency (ME > 0.99), and low root mean square error (RMSE < 5.72). However, the fitness results of the ANN models performed better compared with those of the MLR models. Overall, this study presents an efficient and sustainable strategy to eradicate hazardous HMs by growing C. rotundus on BSW-contaminated soils and reducing its environmental and health consequences.
