Phytoextraction and Assisted Phytoextraction of Metals from Agriculture Used Soil

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2013
The clone (Salix × smithiana, Willd.) was cultivated in lysimeter pots to monitor lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn) leachate and to compare the effect of ectomycorrhizal inoculum (ECMI; Paxillus involutus, Bartsch. ex Fr.) on plant growth and metal uptake by willows during two consecutive vegetation periods.

Phytoextraction and Phytofiltration of Arsenic

Reviews on Environmental Health, 2006
Arsenic, 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.

Economics of Willow Pyrolysis After Phytoextraction

International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2008
The Campine is a vast cross-border area in the northeast of Belgium and southeast of the Netherlands that has been contaminated with heavy metals. As traditional excavation techniques are too expensive, phytoremediation is preferred. Economically viable conversion techniques for the biomass are researched in order to lower reclamation costs and to ...

Metals Phytoextraction by Brassica Species

2021
The wider application of heavy metals in different industrial, agricultural, and pharmaceutical process has increased the unchecked addition of these metals in the environment. These heavy metals have become a potential hazard to environment and human health due to their mutagenic, carcinogenic, and persistent nature.

Phytoextraction of Heavy Metals

2020
Heavy metals are considered as the major classes of a contaminant in nature. Heavy metal contamination from fertilizers, metal mining, and industrial activities leads to toxic effects on humans and other organisms. Although the toxic effects of these elements have been recognized for a long time, exposure to these elements continues.

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 ...

Phytoextraction crop disposal—an unsolved problem

Environmental Pollution, 2004
Several methods of contaminated crop disposal after phytoextraction process (composting, compaction, incineration, ashing, pyrolysis, direct disposal, liquid extraction) have been described. Advantages and disadvantages of methods are presented and discussed.

Phytoextraction of Endosulfan a Remediation Technique

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2011
Endosulfan is a cyclodiene insecticide used all over the world for the control of various insect pests on variety of food and non crop products. Despite judicious use endosulfan has been detected in atmosphere, soil, water, sediment, surface water rain water and food stuffs, which is of concern.

Phytoextraction of Toxic Metals

Journal of Environment Quality, 2002
ABSTRACTRemediation of sites contaminated with toxic metals is particularly challenging. Unlike organic compounds, metals cannot be degraded, and the cleanup usually requires their removal. However, this energy‐intensive approach can be prohibitively expensive. In addition, the metal removing process often employs stringent physicochemical agents which

Transient Phytoextraction Agents: Establishing Criteria for the Use of Chelants in Phytoextraction of Recalcitrant Metals

International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2008
The phytoremediation of recalcitrant metals such as lead and uranium rely on soil amendments to enhance metal availability within the rhizosphere. Because these amendments may persist in soils, agents that not only biodegrade rapidly but also are effective in triggering metal uptake in plants are needed for metals phytoextraction to be considered as an
