摘要:
A cadmium- and zinc-hyperaccumulating subspecies from Thlaspi caerulescens and methods for removing and optionally recovering cadmium and zinc from soil using phytoextracting techniques wherein the subspecies is cultivated on soil containing cadmium and zinc.
摘要:
The invention relates to recovering metals, such as nickel and cobalt, by phytomining or phytoextracting soils rich in metals wherein the desired metal is selectively accumulated in hyperaccumulator plants by adjusting the soil pH. The metals are ultimately recovered from above-ground plant tissues at economically acceptable levels without further contaminating the metal-containing sites. The invention also relates to metal-hyperaccumulating plants.
