Trace elements (TEs) occur at low concentrations (<1000 mg kg −1) in organisms, yet they have a large biological effect, both as essential nutrients and environmental contaminants. Phytomanagement describes the manipulation of soil-plant systems to affect fluxes TEs environment with goal remediating contaminated soils, recovering valuable metals, or increasing micronutrient crops. includes all biological, chemical, physical technologies employed on vegetated site. Successful phytomanagement...
Biochar produced by pyrolysis of organic residues is increasingly used for soil amendment and many other applications. However, analytical methods its physical chemical characterization are yet far from being specifically adapted, optimized, standardized. Therefore, COST Action TD1107 conducted an interlaboratory comparison in which 22 laboratories 12 countries analyzed three different types biochar 38 physical–chemical parameters (macro- microelements, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic...
Microbial selenium (Se) bioremediation is based on conversion of water soluble, toxic Se oxyanions to insoluble, elemental Se. Formed biogenic nanometer size, hampering straightforward separation from the aqueous phase. This study represents first systematic investigation colloidal properties pure suspensions, linking electrophoretic mobility (ζ-potential) column settling behavior. It was demonstrated that circumneutral pH, commonly applied in bioremediation, not appropriate for...
Phytostabilization aims to reduce environmental and health risks arising from contaminated soil. To be economically attractive, plants used for phytostabilization should produce valuable biomass. This study investigated the biomass production metal allocation foliage wood of willow (Salix viminalis L.), poplar (Populus monviso), birch (Betula pendula), oak (Quercus robur) on five different soils with trace elements (TE), varying high concentrations Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb as well an uncontaminated...
