Phytoextraction: Where’s the action?
Journal of Geochemical Exploration, 2015 Abstract Many articles concerning phytoextraction of trace elements state that it is “an emerging technology that can be used for the low-cost clean-up of contaminated land…”. Given the lack of commercial phytoextraction operations or even successful field trials, we sought to determine whether phytoextraction could ever compete with existing ...

Use of Willow in Phytoextraction
International Journal of Phytoremediation, 1999 ABSTRACT Willow is shown to be able to accumulate high levels of heavy metal ions such as cadmium and zinc. The properties of willow to be used in phytoextraction therefore have been studied. In this article, results from different studies on heavy metals and willow have been used to demonstrate the capacity and possibility of using Salix in ...

Approaches for enhanced phytoextraction of heavy metals
Journal of Environmental Management, 2012The contamination of the environment with toxic metals has become a worldwide problem. Metal toxicity affects crop yields, soil biomass and fertility. Soils polluted with heavy metals pose a serious health hazard to humans as well as plants and animals, and often requires soil remediation practices.

Enhanced Phytoextraction: In Search of EDTA Alternatives
International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2004Enhanced phytoextraction proposes the use of soil amendments to increase the heavy-metal content of above-ground harvestable plant tissues. This study compares the effect of synthetic aminopolycarboxylic acids [ethylenediamine tetraacetatic acid (EDTA), nitriloacetic acid (NTA), and diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA)] with a number of ...

Phytoextraction and Phytofiltration of Arsenic
Reviews on Environmental Health, 2006Arsenic, a ubiquitous contaminant in groundwater and soils, is currently drawing much public attention. Arsenic-contaminated soils can be cleaned up via phytoextraction-the use of plants to extract the arsenic from soil and transport it into aboveground tissues.
