Phytoextraction to promote sustainable development [PDF]
Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2013 Mining makes a positive contribution to the economy of Indonesia. Significant earnings accrue through the export of tin, coal, copper, nickel and gold. Of these commodities, gold carries the highest unit value. But not all gold mining is regulated.

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 ...

Morpho-physiological and biochemical insights into phytoremediation of lithium by sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) and napier grass (Cenchrus purpureus Schumach.) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsPhytoremediation is a green and cost-effective strategy used to clean up metal pollutants from contaminated soils. Recently, non-crop species have gained attention for their ability to adapt to and thrive in contaminated environments, making them ...

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 ...
