Rehabilitation of a heavy metal contaminated riverbed by phytoextraction technique (RIVERPHY)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2018,
Background
In Europe, techniques for rehabilitating river sediments contaminated with heavy metals have tended to focus on ex-situ physical and chemical approaches, such as pyrometallurgical separation, solidification, electrokinetics, soil washing, and excavation and burial at hazardous-waste sites. Remedial techniques based on phytoextraction have scarc ...
