Arsenic fractionation in soils using an improved sequential extraction procedure
Walter W. Wenzel,Natalie Kirchbaumer,Thomas Prohaska,Gerhard Stingeder,Enzo Lombi,Domy C. Adriano +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and tested a sequential extraction procedure (SEP) for As by choosing extraction reagents commonly used for sequential extraction of metals, Se and P, including NH 4 NO 3, NaOAc, NH 2 OH·HCl, EDTA, NH 4 OH and NH 4 F, were shown to either have only low extraction efficiency for As, or to be insufficiently selective or specific for the phases targeted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic transformations in the soil-rhizosphere-plant system: fundamentals and potential application to phytoremediation.
Walter J. Fitz,Walter W. Wenzel +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes a conceptual model of the fate of As in the soil-rhizosphere-plant system by integrating the state-of-the art knowledge available in the contributing disciplines and discusses research needs and the potential application of rhizosphere processes to the development of phytoremediation technologies for As-polluted soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of assisted natural remediation in environmental cleanup
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of green plants as a remediation tool in environmental cleanup has also offered some potential, and case studies using lime, phosphate and biosolid amendments have demonstrated, under field conditions, enhanced natural remediation resulting in substantially improved vegetation growth, invigorated microbial population and diversity, and reduced offsite metal transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trace elements in the soil-plant interface: Phytoavailability, translocation, and phytoremediation–A review
Vasileios Antoniadis,Efi Levizou,Sabry M. Shaheen,Sabry M. Shaheen,Yong Sik Ok,Yong Sik Ok,Abin Sebastian,Christel Baum,Majeti Narasimha Vara Prasad,Walter W. Wenzel,Jörg Rinklebe,Jörg Rinklebe +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of soil and plant indices related to trace element (TE) phytoavailability in real field conditions is presented, and discrepancies of lower-than-expected toxicity to plants are explored, mainly due to growth experiments that expose plants to TEs directly from TE-laden solutions or by studies that spike soils with TEs only days or weeks before planting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhizosphere processes and management in plant-assisted bioremediation (phytoremediation) of soils.
TL;DR: Evaluation of the current literature suggests that pollutant bioavailability in the rhizosphere of phytoremediation crops is decisive for designing phytomediation technologies with improved, predictable remedial success.
