Sunflower mutant lines with an enhanced tolerance and metal accumulation capacity obtained by mutation breeding have been proposed for Zn, Cd and Cu removal from metal-contaminated soils in previous studies. However, soils contaminated with trace elements ...
Chloroethenes such as tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) are among the most prevalent contaminants in groundwater. Because of their low aqueous solubility, PCE and TCE are often present as dense non aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) that can act ...
In this study hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) contaminated soil (with HCH level 84 g/kg of soil) from HCH dumpsite (Ummari village, Lucknow, India) was used to demonstrate biostimulation approach for HCH bioremediation. Different nutrients (molasses and ammoni ...
Purpose Many agricultural and brownfield soils are polluted and more have become marginalised due to the introduction of new, risk-based legislation. The European Environment Agency estimates that there are at least 250,000 polluted sites in the member sta ...
Acidic in situ recovery (ISR) of uranium is utilized because of its potential to be much cleaner than traditional physical mining techniques. Instead of spreading uranium-laden waste rock across soil, ISR circulates acid below the surface of the Earth with ...
Phytoextraction is an in situ decontamination technique using metal accumulating plants and appropriate soil amendments to transport and concentrate metals from the soil into the aboveground parts of plants, which are harvested with conventional agricultur ...
Chemical oxidation is a technology used for the remediation of contamination in various media and under different conditions. It is commonly used on in-situ treatments for the remediation of ground or ground water contaminations. This application is limite ...
Reductive biostimulation is currently being explored as a possible remediation strategy for U-contaminated groundwater, and is being investigated at a field site in Rifle, CO, USA. The long-term stability of the resulting U(IV) phases is a key component of ...
Recent attention has focused on the in situ immobilization of uranium by stimulation of dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria (DMRB). The objective of this work was to investigate the effectiveness of this approach in heterogeneous and structured porous me ...
The chlorinated solvents tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) have been used extensively in industry and are now amongst the most common and hazardous groundwater contaminants. These solvents are typically present as dense, non-aqueous phase l ...
