Processing Municipal Waste for Phytostabilization of Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils [PDF]

Soil Systems
Background: Organic amendments are often used for the phytostabilization of heavy metal-contaminated soils. This study investigated the suitability of different municipal waste processing methods for phytostabilization.

Efficiency of large-scale aided phytostabilization in a mining pond [PDF]

Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 2023
AbstractMining activities accumulate large quantities of waste in tailing ponds, which results in several environmental impacts. In Cartagena–La Unión mining district (SE Spain), a field experiment was carried out in a tailing pond to evaluate the effect of aided phytostabilization on reducing the bioavailability of zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), copper (Cu ...

A greenhouse study on phytostabilization of sulfidic mine tailings

, 2023
The reclamation of sulfidic mine tailings with the potential to release toxic metals into the surrounding environment, has been an urgent, yet difficult, task for a long period. Direct revegetation is a more cost-effective reclamation method than a multilayer covering system on tailings. Phytostabilization can stabilize toxic metals in the rhizosphere,

Aided Phytostabilization of Mine Waste

, 2018
Mining activities are major sources of metallic contamination worldwide. The dissemination and transport of mine tailings and spoils, characterized by a lack of organic matter and nutrients, high acidity and sulfide minerals content, containing ...

Artificial Inoculation—Perspectives in Tailings Phytostabilization

International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2004
Intensive mining and processing activities worldwide resulted in the generation of huge amounts of waste (tailings), generally characterized as toxic, radioactive, and/or hazardous. The exposure potential and, hence, the risk posed by such wastes is enhanced by a general lack of vegetation. Phytostabilization has proven to be efficient in reducing this

Phytostabilization

, 2011
Phytostabilization involves the establishment of a plant cover on the surface of the contaminated sites with the aim of reducing the mobility of contaminants within the vadose zone through accumulation by roots or immobilization within the rhizosphere ...

A Systematic Review on the Phytoremediation Potential of Grass Species in Ethiopia. [PDF]

ScientificWorldJournal
Environmental contamination has shown an increasing trend due to urbanization, industrialization, and the intensive use of pesticides and fertilizers in Ethiopia. In response to this, phytoremediation has gained attention as an inexpensive and eco‐friendly approach to the protection of soil, water, and air from contamination.

Toxic Metal(loid) Lability in Response to Phytostabilization: A Mesocosm Study

, 2021
Previous studies have shown that application of phytostabilization at the Iron King Superfund site resulted in large reductions in fugitive toxic dust emissions as well as a shifting mine tailing biogeochemical regime.

Iron phytostabilization by Leucaena leucocephala

South African Journal of Botany, 2021
Abstract This study investigated the potential for tolerance, absorption, and translocation of iron (Fe) by Leucaena leucocephala, as well as the response of the photosynthetic mechanism and the phytoremediation potential of L. leucocephala grown in soil with concentrations of Fe (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 mg Fe/dm3 of soil).

Decision Pattern for Changing Polluted Areas into Recreational Places

Agronomy, 2022
There are many enclaves in the Mediterranean basin with soils contaminated with heavy metal(loid)s, most of these in natural areas of great beauty that have suffered the consequences of industrial and mining activity for years. These soils pose a risk to
