Environmental Restoration of Metals-Contaminated Soils

Omtale

Written by a multidisciplinary group of scientists from around the globe Environmental Restoration of Metals-Contaminated Soils provides a summary of the current environmental remediation technology.Topics include:Physical-Chemical processes for in situ remediation by adding amendments for stabilizationThe mechanics of metal retention and release from soilsChemical remediation method for soil contaminated with CD and PbThe effect of soil pH on the distribution of metals among soil fractionsPhysical and electrical separation methods for soil remediationRelationship between the phytoavailability and the extractability of heavy metalsAn overview on environmental restoration of Se-contaminated soilsTrace elements in the soil-plant system under tropical environmentThe process of metal removal by chelation using amino acidsThe effects of natural zeolelite and bentonite on the phytoavailability of heavy metalsMetal uptake by agricultural crops from sewage-sludge treated soilsIn many cases an integrated approach to the remediation of metals contaminated soil yields the best results. Environmental Restoration of Metals-Contaminated Soils explores the emerging issues of the biogeochemistry of trace elements in the environment and provides an approach combining elements from biology, geochemistry, hydrology, and soil physics and chemistry.
