Phytoremediation of heavy metals polluted environments
The rapid industrial development and agricultural growth and the indiscriminate production of pollutants have faced problems for human societies and the environment. Accumulation and pollution of heavy metals in the environment are the main important problems that as a result of human activities through extraction from ore and processing for various applications has led to the release of these ...
متن کاملEffects of deposition of heavy-metal-polluted harbor mud on microbial diversity and metal resistance in sandy marine sediments.
Deposition of dredged harbor sediments in relatively undisturbed ecosystems is often considered a viable option for confinement of pollutants and possible natural attenuation. This study investigated the effects of deposition of heavy-metal-polluted sludge on the microbial diversity of sandy sediments during 12 months of mesocosm incubation. Geochemical analyses showed an initial increase in po...
متن کاملMicrobial Fuel Cells: Plug-in and Power-on Microbiology
I f scientists have their way, “green” beer won’t be limited to St. Patrick’s Day celebrations anymore. Breweries are taking their wastewater, which is rich in organic material, and turning it into electricity with bacteria in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). MFCs can generate valuable commodities from a variety of organic wastes that are abundant and essentially free—bacteria have generated electr...
متن کاملReclaiming Polluted Marine Sediments. A Case History
The Development Plan of Taranto port (S. Italy) predicts the dredging of approx.20 Mt sediments, ≥10% of which are polluted. By appointment of Italian Environment Ministry, a detailed experimental investigation was carried out at laboratory and pilot-scale levels on the best available techniques to reclaim the polluted sediment so to reuse it in a technic and cost effective manner. A short pre-...
متن کاملScreening of variable importance for optimizing electrodialytic remediation of heavy metals from polluted harbour sediments.
Using multivariate design and modelling, the optimal conditions for electrodialytic remediation (EDR) of heavy metals were determined for polluted harbour sediments from Hammerfest harbour located in the geographic Arctic region of Norway. The comparative importance of the variables, current density, remediation time, light/no light, the liquid-solid ratio and stirring rate of the sediment susp...
