Abstract
The possibility of immobilization of scandium and other chemical elements by biogenic materials derived from an aquatic macrophyte was explored. The concentrations of scandium and some other chemical elements were measured in the dried biomass (mortmass) of aquatic plants Myriophyllum aquaticum. In the experiments, the mortmass was incubated in aquatic systems where some chemical elements were added to the aquatic medium. After the incubation, the concentrations of these chemical elements in the mortmass were measured using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), also referred to as inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Increases in the concentrations of scandium and some other chemical elements (Ce, In, Se, Ru, Pd, U, and Zr) were observed in the biogenic material.
