Synthetic chelates such as ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) have been shown to
enhance phytoextraction of some heavy metals from contaminated soil. In a soil column …

Pot-culture experiments were conducted to investigate the potential of microorganism-
saponin assisted phytoremediation of cadmium (Cd) and benzo (a) pyrene (B [a] P) co …

In studies performed in the Aznalcóllar area (Southern Spain), several plant species have
been identified as not only being able to grow on these polluted soils, but also to accumulate …

Mining of minerals and precious elements leads to land degradation that need to be
reclaimed using environmentally friendly and cost effective techniques. The present study …

Phytoremediation is a potential cost-effective technology for remediating heavy metal-
contaminated soils. In this study, we evaluated the biomass and accumulation of copper …

This study investigated the removal of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) from the soil through
phytoremediation using ryegrass combined with chelating agents. Soil leaching experiments …

abstract In two long-term field experiments the zinc (Zn)/cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator
Sedum plumbizincicola (S. plumbizincicola) was examined to optimize the phytoextraction of …

Sedum plumbizincicola is a cadmium (Cd) and zinc hyperaccumulator that can activate Cd
by rhizosphere acidification. However, there is little understanding of the Cd leaching risk …

Heavy metals are pollutants of great concern due to their toxicity and immutable nature. As a
result of human actions such as mining, industrial activity and agricultural practices, heavy …

Mine tailings are one of main causes of diffused heavy metal pollution since the heavy
metals in there may acquire mobility. The current knowledge of the processes at work in long …
