Innovative technologies of phytoremediation for contaminated soils
… a lot of resources for research and development. Phytoremediation is a technique that uses plants to clean up metals and other contaminants from the soil or to make them harmless or less dangerous. Cynara cardunculus L. (cardoon), a perennial species from Asteraceae family, native to Mediterranean …

Phytoremediation Mechanisms of a Creosote-Contaminated Site
… active in the 1950s until 1973. In 1997, a phytoremediation field study was implemented with the planting of 1,026 hybrid poplar trees and 36 cells of vegetated and unvegetated grass and legume treatments. The hybrid poplar tree phytoremediation system was designed to control infiltration …

Electrokinetic-assisted phytoremediation of heavy metal in riverbank soil
Electrokinetic (EK)-assisted phytoremediation is one of the environmental remediation methods that have a big potential in enhancing the ability of plant heavy metal uptake in soils. This study was conducted to investigate the difference in heavy metal composition concentration of riverbank soil …

Rhizosphere/Soil Microorganisms in the Phytoremediation of Biphenyl and Dioxane
… rhizosphere microorganisms was studied in a phytoremediation test-plot contaminated with biphenyl and dioxane. A dioxane-degrading consortium enriched from the contaminated rhizosphere soil did not use dioxane as the sole source of carbon and energy, but did co-metabolize dioxane in the …

Push-pull Tests to Quantify In-situ Naphthalene Phytoremediation Rates
… an improved understanding of the role that the phytoremediation system has on the overall degradation of PAHs at the site. Bromide, a conservative, non-reactive tracer, was injected in solution along with dissolved oxygen. Twelve push-pull tests (PPTs) were performed, of which three did not …

Evapotranspiration Measurement and Simulation due to Poplar Trees at a Phytoremediation Site
… The problem was discovered in 1990 and phytoremediation in combination with an interception trench was chosen as the remediation strategy. Hybrid poplar trees (1,036) were planted in 1997 within 0.7 acres. The goals of the phytoremediation system are to prevent migration of the …
