| Abstract | Barite (BaSO₄) is a component of drilling fluids used in the oil and gas industry and may cause barium (Ba) contamination if it is spilled onto flooded soils. Under anoxic soil conditions and low redox potential, sulfate can be reduced to a more soluble form (sulfide), and Ba can be made available. To design a solution for such environmental issues, a field study was conducted in a Ba-contaminated flooded area in Brazil, in which we induced Ba phytoextraction from the management of the planting density of two intercropped macrophytes. Typha domingensis and Eleocharis acutangula were grown in four initial planting densities: “Ld” (low density: 4 and 32 plants m⁻²); “Md” (medium density: 8 and 64 plants m⁻²); “Hd” (high density: 12 and 128 plants m⁻²); “Vhd” (very high density: 16 and 256 plants m⁻²). Vhd produced the largest number of plants after 300 days. However, the treatments did not differ in terms of the amount of biomass. The increments in the initial planting density did not increase the Ba concentration in the aerial part. The greatest Ba phytoextraction (aerial part + root) was achieved by Ld treatment, which removed approximately 3 kg of Ba ha⁻¹. Md and Vhd treatments had the highest Ba translocation factors. Because more plants per area did not result in greater Ba phytoextraction, a lower planting density was recommended for the intercropping of T. domingensis and E. acutangula to promote the phytoextraction of barium, due to possible lower implementation costs in contaminated flooded environments. |
