Measurement of heavy metal adsorption capacity of some moss samples collected from Rize province

In this study, Al, Ni, Cd, Pb, Cr, Fe, Zn and Cu solutions with % 0,5 concentration were separately implemented during ten days to the moss samples (Abietinella abietina, Hypnum cupressiforme, Plagiomniun undulatum, Rhytidium rugosum ve Thuidium tamariscinum) which had been picked up in Zilkale village of Çamlıhemsin district of Rize Province, but it wasn't implemented for the other part. The capacity of the moss samples to absorb the heavy metal was determined by using EDXRF device (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrophometry) after comparing the implemented moss samples with the unimplemented ones. As a result of the evaluations, the capacities of mosses "Abietinella abietina, Hypnum cupressiforme, Plagiomniun undulatum, Ryhtidium rugosum, Thuidium tamariscinum" to absorb the heavy metals were found out in order of; Pb>Cr>Ni>Cu>Zn>Cd>Al>Fe, Pb>Ni>Cu>Cr>Zn>Cd> Al>Fe, Pb>Ni>Cr>Zn>Cu>Cd>Al>Fe, Pb>Cr>Ni>Cu>Zn>Al>Cd>Fe, Ni>Cr>Pb> Cu>Zn>Cd>Al>Fe.
