摘要：In order to study the economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly techniques for the treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD), this paper investigated the effects of watering with AMD on the growth condition, the resilience of four wetland plants, as well as the uptake and transport of pollutants by plants. The results showed that Typha orientalis was more resistant to AMD (irrigation with AMD increased its catalase activity and glutathione content and promoted its growth), so it was suitable for treating high concentrations of AMD (SO42− ≈ 9400 mg/L); Cyperus glomeratus was suitable for treating medium concentrations of AMD (SO42− ≈ 4600 mg/L); and Scirpus validus and Phragmites australis could be used to treat low concentrations of AMD (SO42− ≈ 2300 mg/L). All four plants could be used for phytoextraction for Mn-contaminated water (TF > 1). Phragmites australis could be used for phytoextraction for Zn-contaminated water, and the other three plants could be used for phytostabilisation for Zn-contaminated water (TF < 1); the microbial biomass in the soil was affected not only by the concentration of AMD but also by plant species. This study provides a scientific basis for the phytoremediation technology of AMD.
