Chelator-enhanced phytoextraction of heavy metals from contaminated soil irrigated by industrial wastewater with the hyperaccumulator plant (Sedum alfredii Hance) (2009, background): “…synthetic chelators such as EDTA and natural low molecular weight organic acids (NLMWOA) to enhance the availability of heavy metals in soils and increase phytoextraction efficiency (Cooper et al., 1999; Garbisu and Alkorta, 2001; Chen et al., 2003; Evangelou et al., 2006; Turgut et al., 2004).”
Basic concepts on heavy metal soil bioremediation (2003, background): “This topic of phytoremediation has recently been reviewed by the authors in more detail elsewhere (Alkorta and Garbisu, 2001; Garbisu and Alkorta, 2001; Garbisu et al., 2002).”
Bioremediation of Heavy Metals from Soil and Aquatic Environment: An Overview of Principles and Criteria of Fundamental Processes (2015, background): “Heavy metals can never be destroyed completely, but the process transforms their oxidation state or organic complex, so that they become water-soluble, less toxic and precipitated [52].”
Biodegradation: Involved Microorganisms and Genetically Engineered Microorganisms (2013, background): “Heavy metals cannot be destroyed biologically (no“degradation”, change in the nuclear structure of the element, occurs) but are only transformed from one oxidation state or organic complex to another [39].”
Heavy metal tolerance and accumulation of Cd, Cr and Ni by Cannabis sativa L. (2003, background): “To metabolize metals and maintain growth and development, a plant requires a balance between the uptake of essential metal ions and the ability to protect sensitive cellular activity and structures from excessive levels of essential and non-essential metals (Garbisu and Alkorta, 2001).”
Remediation of Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils: Phytoremediation as a Potentially Promising Clean-Up Technology (2009, background): “…metals from contaminated soils, as a balance between the uptake of essential metal ions to maintain growth and development and the ability to protect sensitive cellular activity and structures from excessive levels of essential and non-essential metals is required (Garbisu & Alkorta, 2001).”
A review on phytoremediation of heavy metals and utilization of its byproducts. (2005, background): “Composting and compaction has been proposed as post harvest biomass treatment by some authors [48,78,79].”
Heavy Metals in Contaminated Soils: A Review of Sources, Chemistry, Risks and Best Available Strategies for Remediation (2011, background): “Potentially useful phytoremediation technologies for remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils include phy-toextraction (phytoaccumulation), phytostabilization, and phytoﬁltration [123].”
Microbes as Potential Tool for Remediation of Heavy Metals: A Review (2016, background): “The chief benefits of biosorption over conventional treatment methods comprise: low cost; high efficiency; minimization of chemical and biological sludge; selectivity to specific metals; no additional nutrient requirement; regeneration of the biosorbent; and the likelihood of metal recovery [17,18].”
Cadmium Uptake From Soil by Maize With Intercrops (2009, background): “Phytoextraction uses plants to extract metals and translocate them into the harvestable part of the plants which can then be removed from contaminated sites ( Garbisu and Alkorta 2001 ).There are two different strategies to phytoextract metals from soils (Keller et al. 2003).”
ARSENIC PHYTOEXTRACTION AND HYPERACCUMULATION BY FERN SPECIES (2006, background): “However, continuous phytoextraction depends on the natural ability of a plant to accumulate, translocate and tolerate high concentrations of arsenic over the whole growth cycle (Garbisu & Alkorta, 2001), as well as the arsenic bioavailability in the soil.”
