Description for Phytoremediation of Toxic Metals
Hardcover. Phytoremediation is a cleanup method for heavy metal contamination in soil and water that draws upon the metal accumulating properties of certain plants. Sufficiently low cost to allow the cleanup of sites previously considered unfeasible, it also preserves topsoil and reduces the amount of hazardous materials generated during cleanup. Editor(s): Raskin, Ilya; Ensley, Burt D. Num Pages: 304 pages, Ill. BIC Classification: PST; RNF; RNP; TQK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 241 x 162 x 24. Weight in Grams: 632.
An in-depth look at the most promising technology for metal remediation.
With current cleanup methodologies offering no real solution to the serious environmental implications of toxic metal contamination, there is a growing need among remediation professionals for effective, affordable, nonpolluting alternatives to energy-intensive engineering processes. This book presents one such promising alternative-the extraordinary new technology of phytoremediation.
Through first-rate contributions from the top scientists in the field, Phytoremediation of Toxic Metals surveys worldwide pioneering efforts in the use of plants to treat contamination of such metals as lead, cadmium, chromium, and even radionuclides. The ... Read more
