Soil Remediation Techniques and Strategies, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book outlines the complex issue of soil pollution, examining the sources, distribution, and environmental risks of organic and metal pollutants. Through detailed case studies from around the world, it provides a thorough understanding of the challenges posed by soil contamination and the innovative solutions being developed to address them. The book offers a comprehensive overview of soil remediation methods, including physical, chemical, biological, and hybrid approaches, with a focus on sustainable management practices.

The chapters cover a range of topics, including the use of biochar and green materials for soil remediation, bioremediation strategies using enzymes and surfactants, and the application of nanomaterials such as magnetic nanoparticles and graphene oxide. The book also explores phytoremediation techniques, enhanced by CRISPR-Cas9 technology, to improve the sustainability of soil cleanup efforts. Readers will encounter integrated remediation strategies for contaminated agricultural lands, including the combination of phytoremediation with soil amendments, as well as advanced methods such as soil washing and electrokinetic remediation.

This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals seeking to address the global challenges of soil pollution.
