Phytoremediation of Toxic Metals

Using Plants to Clean Up the Environment
Herausgegeben:Raskin, Ilya; Ensley, Burt D.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Seitdem man entdeckte, daß sich in manchen Pflanzen bestimmte Metalle anreichern, sucht man nach Wegen, solche Pflanzen gezielt zur Dekontamination metallverseuchter Böden einzusetzen. Diese sogenannte Phytoremediation erlaubt die schadstoffarme, strukturschonende und zudem preiswerte Entgiftung von Geländen, die mit anderen Methoden nicht behandelt werden können. Dieses Buch diskutiert den Weg des Verfahrens vom Labor auf das Feld sowie verschiedene einzelne Prozeßschritte. (01/00)

Rezensionen

"For those who have an interest in the domain of plant adaptation to environmental constraints...this book has undoubtedly to be on the shelf, and for those who simply have some scientific and technologic curiosity, the book will give them a clear overview..." (Plant Science, Vol. 160, No. 5, 2001)
"This collection of technical papers explores various aspects of phytoremediation: the use of plants to remove contaminants from the soil." (Industry and Environment, Vol. 23, no. 1-2, January-June 2000)
"Fifteen contributions survey efforts in the use of plants to treat soil and water contaminated with such metals as lead, cadmium, chromium, and radionuclides." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 24, No. 4, December 2000)
"..a good contribution to the raising literature on phytoremediation"(Ecotoxicology, Vol 9, 2000)
"...a useful introduction to this technology...I strongly recommend this volume to scientists interested in alternatives to energy-intensive engineering processes for the remediation of water and soil." (Microchemical Journal, Vol. 69, 2001)
