Assessment of EDTA heap leaching of an agricultural soil highly contaminated with heavy metals

Mobilization of heavy metals from contaminated paddy soil by EDDS, EDTA, and elemental sulfur.

For enhanced phytoextraction, mobilization of heavy metals (HMs) from the soil solid phase to soil pore water is an important process. A pot incubation experiment mimicking field conditions was conducted to investigate the performance of three soil additives in mobilizing HMs from contaminated paddy soil (Gleyi-Stagnic Anthrosol): the [S, S]-isomer of ethylenediamine disuccinate (EDDS) with app...

Correction: Efficiency of non-ionic surfactants - EDTA for treating TPH and heavy metals from contaminated soil

Introduction of fuel hydrocarbons and inorganic compounds (heavy metals) into the soil, resulting in a change of the soil quality, which is likely to affect use of the soil or endangering public health and ground water. This study aimed to determine a series of parameters to remediation of TPH and heavy metals contaminated soil by non-ionic surfactants- chelating agents washing process. In this...

Nitrogen fertilizer and EDTA effect on Cannabis sativa growth and Phytoextraction of heavy metals (Cu and Zn) contaminated soil

Heavy metals in soil, water and air is a great concern. Toxic heavy metals ultimately affect plant, Animals, and through food chain directly influence human life. In present study, the effect of heavy metals (Cu, Zn), Nfertilizers and EDTA on growth and biomass of cannibus sativa plant was evaluated. The Cu and Zn phytoextraction potential of Cannabis sativa plant under various treatments of N-...

Assessment of Soil Pollution with Heavy Metals in Romania

Health Risk-Based Assessment and Management of Heavy Metals-Contaminated Soil Sites in Taiwan

Risk-based assessment is a way to evaluate the potential hazards of contaminated sites and is based on considering linkages between pollution sources, pathways, and receptors. These linkages can be broken by source reduction, pathway management, and modifying exposure of the receptors. In Taiwan, the Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Act (SGWPR Act) uses one target regulation to evalua...
