    Do the same hyperaccumulators for metals also hyperaccumulate microplastics?

      Hyperaccumulating plants accumulate metals specifically; uptake and accumulation of microplastics has not been observed yet.

    How do you exctract the nickel from the plant later?

      Sci show mentioned that for certain metals you burn the plants and harvest the ash.

      @@kl3312 Thank you. I think this research can be useful to harvest the metal:

      @@suli976 This would actually dilute the concentration. Once the plants are burned you leach the copper into water or other solvents and a low current will make it electrolyse. Another option is adding a tiny bit of scrap iron which makes it settle out as copper ferrite which can be smelted.

      @@CUBETechie you CAN capture the particulates in ANY smoke using electrostatics.
      (look up a KELVIN WATER DROPPER,similar process)
      smoke travels up a flue and is directed to 2 metal rings
      smoke will become EITHER negatively charged OR positively
      each smoke plume then travels through a chamber with grills with an OPPOSITE charge
      where they stick
      periodically they are scrubbed (mechanically) and this is collected into hoppers
      .
      .
      This technology is ANCIENT,ask your local recycling centre if THEY use it.
      If not ....WHY NOT😽
      My neighbour's kid can build one with scrap parts.
      scrubber will need about 6volts.....hopper needs emptying when full.

    Is there a chance these plants can help cure cancer?? I’m not sure why I asked that

      Yeah if you add carbon nanotubes, graphine, and platinum nanoparticles, they also turn into room temp superconductors that cure cancer but only if you lick it off the side of a space elevator thats powered by a fusion reactor

      @@chubbstrevino1354 are you sure elevator? Escalators have a more staggered elevation which balances out the reactors. Would hate for the moon to fuse into earth. Thanks for your input.
