Abstract

ABSTRACT The interactions of various components of the plant cell walls and several essential (Cu, Fe) and toxic (Al, Cd, Hg, Pb) metals were investigated using a model system simulating natural conditions. The system consists of ascending paper chromatography of the metals on paper impregnated with different components of plant cell walls like pectin, galacturonic acid, and model compounds of lignin. The tap water was used as developer. The chromatographic results, compared with those on the free paper, show acceleration or retardation of metals and demonstrate the influence of considered ligands on their mobilities.
