Phytoremediation: Data on effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on phytoremediation of antimony polluted soil.

ABSTRACT: This data article presents effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO₂ NPs) on phytoremediation of antimony contaminated soil using S. Bicolor in detail. Seedlings of S. bicolor were exposed to different doses of TiO₂ NPs (0,50,100,250,500 and 1000 mg/kg) in plastic pots containing Sb-contaminated soil and cultivated over a 80-day period in a greenhouse. Harvested plants were dried in an oven at 70 °C for 48 h to obtain dry weight of the biomass. The concentrations of metal(loid)s in soil as well as in plant organs were determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Chlorophyll contents of fresh leaves materials were measured by UV spectrophotometry at 645 nm and 663 nm. Data on distribution of Sb and Ti in roots an
