Phytoremediation of organic contaminants in soils

Bioresource Technology, 2001
Soil pollution, a very important environmental problem, has been attracting considerable public attention over the last decades. Unfortunately, the enormous costs associated with the removal of pollutants from soils by means of traditional physicochemical methods have been encouraging companies to ignore the problem.

Mycoremediation of PAH-contaminated soil

Folia Microbiologica, 2002
Out of a number of white-rot fungal cultures, strains of Irpex lacteus and Pleurotus ostreatus were selected for degradation of 7 three- and four-ring unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in two contaminated industrial soils. Respective data for removal of PAH in the two industrial soils by I.

Phytostabilization of Metal Contaminated Soils

Reviews on Environmental Health, 2010
The contamination of soils with heavy metals represents a worldwide environmental problem of great concern. Traditional methods for the remediation of metal contaminated soils are usually very expensive and frequently induce adverse effects on soil properties and biological activity.

Bioremediation of glyphosate-contaminated soils

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2010
Based on the results of laboratory and field experiments, we performed a comprehensive assessment of the bioremediation efficiency of glyphosate-contaminated soddy-podzol soil. The selected bacterial strains Achromobacter sp. Kg 16 (VKM B-2534D) and Ochrobactrum anthropi GPK 3 (VKM B-2554D) were used for the aerobic degradation of glyphosate.

Arsenic speciation in contaminated soils

Talanta, 2002
A method for arsenic speciation in soils is developed, based on extraction with a mixture of 1 mol l(-1) of phosphoric acid and 0.1 mol l(-1) of ascorbic acid, and further measurement with the coupling liquid chromatography (LC)-ultraviolet (UV) irradiation-hydride generation (HG)-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP/MS).

Behaviour of Inorganic Contaminants in Soil

1986
From general surveys of soil science literature a number of concepts of soil become apparent which may be quite different, although they all pertain to the same subject. It usually depends on the viewpoint of the author, mainly determined by his personal scientific interest or background, what is the predominant nature of the concept he uses, e.g ...

Bioremediating herbicide-contaminated soils

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 1993
Combinations of landfarming and biostimulation were evaluated for remediating pesticide wastes. Various amounts of soil contaminated with alachlor and trifluralin (> or = 100 mg/kg each) and metolachlor and atrazine (> or = 20 mg/kg each) were applied to field plots, and sewage sludge or corn meal was incorporated into designated plots. Plots were also

Bioremediation of soils contaminated with explosives

Journal of Environmental Management, 2004
The large-scale industrial production and processing of munitions such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) over the past 100 years led to the disposal of wastes containing explosives and nitrated organic by-products into the environment. In the US, the Army alone has estimated that over 1.2 million tons of soil have been contaminated with explosives, and ...

LANDFARMING IN A PAH-CONTAMINATED SOIL

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A, 2001
The present work describes a coke oven soil treatability study by land-farming, conducted on-site in a field scale facility covering 100 m2. The soil contamination was mainly due to high concentrations of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) up to 1,140 mg/Kg dry weight (sigma EPA).
