Remediation Technology for Boron and Fluoride Contaminated Sediments Using Green Plants

Résumé du livre

Phytoremediation is the direct application of green plants and their associated micro-organism to stabilize or absorb contaminants from soils, sludge, sediments, surface water, or groundwater. Boron and fluoride were listed to the soil standards a few years ago in Japan; however, few researches have been reported about phytoremediation on the above elements. In this paper, the authors report the experimental results of accumulation and tolerance ability of green plants focusing on the fluoride and boron contamination. In the pot laboratory tests, the growth rate of Chinese cabbage was not affected by low fluoride concentration (
