Phytoremediation of Arsenic Contaminated Sites in China : Theory and Practice Paperback / softback
by Tongbin Chen, Mei Lei, Xiaoming Wan, Xiaoyong Zhou, Jun Yang
Part of the SpringerBriefs in Environmental Science series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book introduces readers to the main theories of phytoremediation and its application to arsenic-contaminated soils in China.
The hyperaccumulation theories are introduced, including the use of hyperaccumulators to remove large amounts of arsenic without producing toxic symptoms.
The use of synchrotron-based X-ray absorption fine structure radiation to disclose the hyperaccumulation mechanism – a method that makes it possible to detect the elements in plant tissues without destroying the sample – is introduced in detail.
This book also includes practical application cases of phytoremediation, which are rarely found in the literature.
Allowing readers to gain a thorough understanding of phytoremediation technology, and demonstrating its efficiency in cleaning arsenic-contaminated soils, the book offers a valuable asset for graduate students, lecturers, researchers and engineers in the field of soil remediation.
