Different compounds including toxic heavy metals ions have been used in various industrial branches for ages. Therefore, these compounds are nowadays often identified in the natural environment. Plants usually function like indirect transporters through which heavy metals, in the form of ions, infiltrate from the environment into the human and animals’ food chains. The present paper studied the influence of urban agglomeration on the accumulation of certain heavy metals in tansy. The content of heavy metals ions (Cr, Ni, Cd and Pb) was marked in the tansy leaves. Depending on the location of sampling, large variations in the heavy metal content were observed in the plant material. The research results indicate that the heavy metal content of tansy is influenced by the close “neighborhood” of a well-developed urban agglomeration such as patrol stations and factories.

Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.) grows in moderate area of the northern hemisphere, in Poland – its range covers the whole country. It appears on the farm wastelands, by roadsides, on enbankments, river banks, forest lips and in open spaces. The present paper has faced the challenge of defining the influence of the environmental conditions on the mineral composition of Tanacetum vulgare leaves. The plants were picked in the blooming period from May to September 2017 in 12 natural environments of their growth and at different contamination levels. The dried and minced plant material was submitted to chemical analyses of the bio elements content (K, P, Cu, Zn, Mo) of leaves. A great variety was observed when speaking in terms of particular elements content in dependence on the position. In all tests, significant quantities of K and P were found. The study results point at the very fact that the mineral composition of Tanacetum vulgare leaves is influenced by the environmental contamination, caused by the nearby "neighbourhood" of circulation areas of high traffic volume, factories or patrol stations.

Optimization of the biodegradable wastes management is one of the main goals of the activities taken up in the European Union. The aim of the present paper is to define the possibilities of supporting the process of golden rod yield (Solidago canadensis L.) by using different mineral-organic fertilizers, in a form of granulated substances, produced from extracted coffee wastes (CSG) as well as from ash which is the result of woody biomass combustion. Golden rod, as a potential energetic plant, is very easy to grow because it covers the grounds which are not utilized agriculturally or the ones localised in the close neighbourhood of industrial areas. For certain experimental purposes, a field experiment was conducted. Six experimental plots constituted its basis, two experimental fertilizers based on the extracted coffee wastes (in the amount of 100g/m2), ash from the process of thermal biomass transition and two commercial fertilizers were applied. After 160 days of the experiment, the golden rod harvest was submitted to quantitative-qualitative analysis. An analysis of basic soil parameters (pH, EC, TOC) was also carried out and the content of significant elements, as far as fertilizers are concerned, N, P, K, Ca, Mg was analysed too. As a result of the conducted experiment, the yield rise was observed, both in the case of the plants fed with commercial fertilizers as well as the ones cultivated on the basis of the extracted wastes. Using fertilizers does not only allow for management of the wastes produced in farm areas but also enables to increase the achieved amount of golden rod crops as well as to boost energy that is sourced in the process of biomass used for energetic purposes.

Biowęgiel jest materiałem, który zyskuje coraz większą uwagę jako opłacalny sorbent do oczyszczania roztworów wodnych z toksycznych dla środowiska jonów metali ciężkich (As, Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn i Cd). Brakuje jednak informacji na temat mechanizmów sorpcji dla różnych jonów metali. Niniejsze opracowanie prezentuje kluczowe czynniki oraz proponowane mechanizmy adsorpcji w celu wyjaśnienia zachowania adsorpcyjnego biowęgla. Artykuł podsumowuje charakterystyczne właściwości biowęgla (np. pole powierzchni, porowatość, pH, ładunek powierzchniowy, grupy funkcyjne i składniki mineralne) oraz główne mechanizmy regulujące sorpcję. Własności biowęgla różnią się znacznie między sobą w zależności od rodzaju materiału wsadowego oraz zastosowanej temperatury pirolizy. W wyższej temperaturze wytwarzany jest biowęgiel o większej powierzchni, porowatości, pH i zawartości minerałów, ale o mniejszej liczbie grup funkcyjnych. W niniejszej pracy zaprezentowano biowęgiel jako materiał wykazujący duży potencjał skutecznego zwalczania zanieczyszczeń ze środowiska wodnego, biorąc pod uwagę szeroką dostępność surowca, korzystne fizyczne i chemiczne właściwości powierzchni.

The biochar is a material which gaining more attention as a effective sorbent for the purification toxic metals ions (As, Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn and Cd) from environmentally aqueous solutions. However, there is not so many information about sorption mechanisms of metals ions. In this paper presented factors and proposed mechanisms of adsorption to explain about behavior of adsorption by the biochar. The article summarized the characteristic of the biochar (eg. surface area, porosity, pH, surface charge, and functional groups minerals) and mechanism which that can be regulate sorption. Biochar has much different properties, which depending at the type of feed material and temperature of pyrolysis. In the higher temperatures we can produce biochar with larger surface area, porosity, pH and mineral content, but less functional groups. This paper present the biochar as a material which demonstrating a large potential for effective control by the pollution of aquatic environment, taking the wide availability of materials and favorable physical and chemical properties.
