Recent Developments for In Situ Treatment of Metal Contaminated Soils

Soil flushing has been selected at seven which was contaminated with metals. Superfund sites with metals present; however, at six of those sites, organic contaminants are the Both processes are broadly applicable to a range primary targets. For metals, soil

Phytoremediation of some heavy metals in contaminated soil

2021/12/12Background Several cultivated areas are irrigated with low-quality waters from the drainage system due to the shortage of suitable source of water for agricultural activities. Most of these drainage waters are contaminated with heavy metals which are concentrated in surface layer of the soil and translocated to plant and food chains. The region of Sahl El Husseiniya,
