A microcosm experiment was conducted to compare how different chelating agents enhance
the phytoextraction of lead (Pb) by Mirabilis jalapa from an artificially Pb-contaminated soil …

Phytoextraction is a remediation technology for contaminated soils with lead (Pb). The
application of chelating agents can be resulted in high efficiency in this method. In current …

Leaching of metals due to enhanced mobility during ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-
assisted phytoextraction has been demonstrated as one of the potential hazards associated …

Soil amendments like ethylene-diamine-tetraacetic-acid (EDTA) have extensively been used
for enhancing lead (Pb) phytoextraction. But due to its toxic effects, environment friendly …

Lead (Pb), depending upon the reactant surface, pH, redox potential and other factors can
bind tightly to the soil with a retention time of many centuries. Soil-metal interactions by …

Purpose Studying the rate of chelant degradation is important to select environmental
friendly compounds to assist phytoextraction. The objective of the present study was to …

Laboratory batch and greenhouse pot experiments were conducted to determine the
extraction efficiency of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for solubilizing lead (Pb) and …

Phytoextraction, a remediation strategy for lead (Pb)‐contaminated soils that removes soil
Pb through plant uptake and harvest, may be enhanced by use of synthetic chelates. We …

Chelate-induced remediation has been proposed as an effective tool for the extraction of
lead (Pb) from contaminated soils by plants. However, side-effects, mainly mobilization and …

The effects of the combined application of soil fungicide (benomyl) and
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on lead (Pb) phytoextraction by ryegrass (Lolium …
