                            <p>Çalışmanın amacı: Bu çalışmanın amacı, maden işletmesindeki pasa döküm sahasından alınan bakır (Cu), çinko (Zn) ve Kurşun (Pb) ile kirlenmiş topraklarda, biyoenerji bitkisi olarak da kullanılabilen ayçiçeği (Helianthus annuus L.) bitkisinin fitoremediasyon kapasitesinin belirlenmesidir.Çalışma alanı: Artvin Çoruh Üniversitesi Araştırma serası ortamında fitoremediasyon çalışması yapılmıştır.Materyal ve Yöntem: Çalışmada temiz ve kirli toprak %0, %50 ve %100 oranlarında karıştırılarak bitki yetiştirilmiştir. Araştırmada toprak ve bitki örneklerinin ağır metal konsantrasyonları ölçülerek bitkilerin biyoakümülasyon (BAF) ve traslokasyon (TF) faktörleri hesaplanmıştır. Biyoakümülasyon faktörü sürgünlerdeki metal konsantrasyonunun topraktaki metal konsantrasyonuna oranını, translokasyon faktörü ise bitki yeşil aksamındaki metal derişiminin kök metal derişimine oranını ifade eder.Sonuçlar: Ayçiçeği bitkisi Zn metalini en fazla yeşil aksamda, Cu ve Pb metallerini ise kökte biriktirmiştir. Bitkinin BAF değerleri ortalamaları Zn için 0.72, Pb için 0.5 ve Cu için 0.28, TF değerleri ortalamaları ise Zn için 1.25, Pb için 0.97 ve Cu için 0.52 olarak belirlenmiştir.Önemli vurgular: Elde edilen bulgular, ayçiçeği bitkisinin ağır metaller ile kirlenmiş toprakların iyileştirilmesi için Cu metalinin fitostabilizasyonunda, Zn ve Pb metalinin ise fitoekstraksiyonunda kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.</p></trans-abstract>

Bioaccumulation (BAF) and translocation (TF) factors were calculated by measuring heavy metal concentrations in soil and plant samples. The bioaccumulation factor is calculated by dividing the metal concentration in the shoots with the metal concentration in the soil. The translocation factor expresses the ratio of the metal concentration in the plant green parts to the root metal concentration.Main results: The sunflower plant has accumulated the highest Zn in the shoots, while Cu and Pb have accumulated the highest in the roots. The mean BAF values of the plants were determined as 0.72 for Zn, 0.5 for Pb and 0.28 for Cu, while the mean TF values were determined as 1.25 for Zn, 0.97 for Pb and 0.52 for Cu.Highlights: The findings show that the sunflower plant can be used in the phytostabilization of Cu metal and in the phytoextraction of Zn and Pb metal to reclaim heavy metal contaminated soils.</p></abstract>
