While phosphate (P) inhibits arsenic (As) uptake by plants, phytate increases As uptake by As-hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata . Here we tried to understand the underling mechanisms by investigating the roles of phytate in soil As desorption, P transport in P. vittata , short-term As uptake, and plant growth and As accumulation from soils. Sterile soil was used to exclude microbial degradation on phytate. Results showed that inorganic P released 3.3-fold more As than that of phytate from soil. However, P. vittata accumulated 2–2.5 fold more As from soils with phytate than that in control and P treatment. In addition, different from P suppression on As uptake, solution uptake experiment showed that As uptake in phytate treatment was comparable to that of control under 0.1–7.5 μM As after 1–24 h. Moreover, responding to phytate, P. vittata P transporter PvPht1;3 increased by 3-fold while PvPht1;1 decreased by 65%. The data suggested that phytate upregulated PvPht1;3 , thereby contributing to As uptake in P. vittata . Our results showed that, though with lower As release from soil compared to P, phytate induced more As uptake and better growth in P. vittata by upregulating P transporters.

Interactive effects of inorganic arsenic (As) species and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on their uptake, accumulation and translocation in the hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata L. ( P. vittata ) were studied hydroponically. The presence of PAHs hindered As uptake and acropetal translocation by P. vittata , decreasing As concentrations by 29.8%–54.5% in pinnae, regardless of the initial As speciation. The inhibitive effect of PAHs was 1.6–8.7 times greater for arsenite [As(III)] than for arsenate [As(V)]. Similarly, inorganic As inhibited the uptake of fluorene (FLU) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) by P. vittata roots by 0.4%–21.7% and by 33.1%–69.7%, respectively. Interestingly, coexposure to As and PAHs slightly enhanced the translocation of PAHs by P. vittata with their concentrations increased 0.3 to 0.8 times in shoots, except for the As(III)+BaP treatment. The antagonistic interaction between As and PAHs uptake is likely caused by competitive inhibition or oxidative stress injury. By using synchrotron radiation micro X-ray fluorescence imaging, high concentrations of As were found distributed throughout the microstructures far from main vein of the pinnae when coexposed with PAHs, the opposite of what was observed with exposure to As only. PAHs could also significantly inhibit the accumulation and distribution of As in vascular bundles in rachis treated with As(III). The results of two-photon laser scanning confocal microscopy revealed that PAHs were mainly distributed in the vascular cylinder, epidermal cells, vascular bundles, epidermis and vein tissues, and this was independent of As speciation and treatment. This work offers new positive evidence for the interaction between As and PAHs in P. vittata , presents new information on the underlying mechanisms for interactions of As and PAHs affecting their uptake and translocation within P. vittata L., and provides direction for future research on the mechanisms of PAHs uptake by plants.

As-enriched Pteris vittata L. (PVL, a kind of hyper-accumulator biomass) was converted into high-quality biofuel by the catalytic hydrogenolysis, aiming to achieve effective treatment and high-value utilization of hyper-accumulators. After pretreatment of PVL to remove lipids and lignin, more than 64% of heavy metals were transferred into water, and the As content in the solid biomass was reduced from 1328 mg/kg to 483 mg/kg. The multifunctional catalysts RhCl 3 /NaI/HCl/H 2 were used in a biphasic reaction system to convert PVL into biofuel with high selectivity. The main products are C5 and C6 furans and low oxygen content ketones, which have a high heating value (HHV) and can be directly used as biofuel. The highest yields of C5 and C6 products were obtained with 60.2% and 61.1% (based on the corresponding hemicellulose and cellulose) under the optimal reaction conditions (160 °C, 4 h, 300 psi H 2 , 4 mmol NaI, H 2 O/toluene = 1:1). The total biofuel yield based on dry PVL was 18.8 wt.%. After the reaction, more than 50% heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, As) remained in the bio-char, while the heavy metals in the biofuel were less than 20% (As content was less than 55 mg/kg). Therefore, catalytic hydrogenolysis was perceived as a promising technique for PVL treatment to obtain high-quality biofuel and arsenic recovery.

Arsenic (As) in soils is often adsorbed on Fe-(hydro)oxides surface, rendering them more resistant to dissolution, which is undesirable for phytoremediation of As-contaminated soils. Arsenic hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata prefers to grow in calcareous soils where available Fe and As are low. To elucidate its mechanisms of acquiring Fe and As from insoluble sources in soils, we investigated dissolution of goethite with pre-adsorbed arsenate (AsV; As-goethite) in presence of four organic ligands, including two root exudates (oxalate and phytate, dominant in P. vittata ) and two microbial siderophores (PG12-siderophore and desferrioxamine B). Their presence increased As solubilization from As-goethite from 0.03 to 0.27–5.33 mg L −1 compared to the control. The siderophore/phytate bi-ligand treatment released 7.42 mg L −1 soluble Fe, which was 1.2-fold that of the sum of siderophore and phytate, showing a synergy in promoting As-goethite dissolution. In the ligand-mineral-plant system, siderophore/phytate was most effective in releasing As and Fe from As-goethite. Moreover, the continuous plant uptake induced more As-goethite dissolution. The continued release of As and Fe significantly enhanced their plant uptake (from 0.01 to 0.43 mg plant −1 As and 2.7–14.8 mg plant −1 Fe) and plant growth (from 1.2 to 3.1 g plant −1 fw) in P. vittata . Since microbial siderophores and root exudates often coexist in soil rhizosphere, their synergy in enhancing dissolution of insoluble As-Fe minerals may play an important role in efficient phytoremediation of As-contaminated soils.

Heavy metal separation and recovery from hyperaccumulators are crucial to promote the industrialization of phytoremediation and prevent secondary heavy metal pollution. In this study, we developed an innovative modified steel slag/CaO 2 technology for arsenic recovery and separation via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of As-enriched Pteris vittata L. (PVL). Arsenic migrated from the aqueous phase to the solid phase, with a recovery rate as high as 99.96 %, and the oxidation of arsenite was achieved with an impressive efficiency of 97.64 %. Experiments with model compounds revealed that the As in the PVL was immobilized by metal oxides (CaO, MgO, Fe 2 O 3 and SiO 2 ) in the modified steel slag and deposited in the solid phase. The coprecipitation of arsenic and heavy metals was verified via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). As(III) was converted into As(V) via the strong oxidability of •OH and H 2 O 2 from CaO 2 . XPS confirmed that the interconversion of Fe 3+ and Fe 2+ significantly contributed to the oxidation and removal of arsenic. The concentration of As(III) in the system decreased to 1.96 % with this method. To investigate heavy metal recovery from the solid phase, magnetic experiments were subsequently conducted to investigate the arsenic distribution in the solid phase after magnetic separation. Notably, the As could be recovered in the magnetic solid phase, whereas 0.05 % of the As(III) and 18.46 % of the As(V) of the total arsenic were distributed in the non-magnetic solid phase. This study demonstrated that modified steel slag/CaO 2 has great potential for the detoxification and recovery of heavy metals in hyperaccumulators.
