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 ...

Phytoextract-induced developmental deformities in malaria vector
Bioresource Technology, 2006Larvicidal potential of petroleum ether (Pee), carbon tetrachloride (Cte) and methanol extract (Mee) of Artemisia annua, Chenopodium album and Sonchus oleraceus was observed against malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi Liston. The Pee of A. annua with LC50 16.85 ppm after 24 h and 11.45 ppm after 48 h of treatment was found most effective, followed by ...

Cadmium phytoextraction potential of different Alyssum species
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2011This work was planned for providing useful information about the possibility of using serpentine adapted plants for phytoextraction of cadmium, element scarcely represented in such metalliferous environment. To this aim, we investigated variation in cadmium tolerance, accumulation and translocation in three Alyssum plants with different phenotypes ...

Chemically Enhanced Phytoextraction of Lead-Contaminated Soils
International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2012The effects of the combined application of soil fungicide (benomyl) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on lead (Pb) phytoextraction by ryegrass (Lolium perenne) were examined. Twenty-five pots of Pb-contaminated soil (200 mg Pb kg(-1)) were seeded with ryegrass and randomly arranged into the following treatments: (1) Control, (2) benomyl, (3 ...

Phytoextraction of cadmium with Thlaspi caerulescens
Plant and Soil, 2003The in situ phytoextraction of cadmium from soils can only be achieved using plants that are both tolerant to high Cd concentrations and able to extract sufficient amounts of the metal. However, very few plant species are capable of remediating Cd polluted soils in a reasonable time frame.

Phytoextraction of Mercury-Contaminated Soil
2018Mercury (Hg) is considered to be a “priority hazardous substance” due to its toxicity, mobility, long-range transport in the atmosphere, and methylation processes. The contamination of soil with Hg has attracted public concern as it can be easily incorporated into the food chain.

Energetic utilization of phytoextraction crops
2010A study was carried out to determine heavy metals distribution between different ash fractions during thermochemical conversion of contaminated biomass in fluidized bed reactor. The behavior of heavy metals in oxidation and reduction reaction atmosphere was different.
