Article Synopsis
- Phytomanagement leverages plants and soil conditioners to enhance contaminated land while minimizing environmental risks, focusing on the effectiveness of Salvia sclarea L. (sage) and Coriandrum sativum L. (coriander) along with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF).
- The study found that sage successfully immobilizes metal(loid)s and its essential oil (EO) had similar metal concentrations to those from uncontaminated soil, making it a promising candidate for value-added products.
- In contrast, coriander EOs also showed acceptable metal levels, but its distillation residues had high Cd concentrations, limiting their use; AMF did not effectively reduce Cd mobility in coriander soil.
How to manage plant biomass originated from phytotechnologies? Gathering perceptions from end-users.
Int J Phytoremediation
October 2017
A questionnaire survey was carried out in four European countries to gather end-user's perceptions of using plants from phytotechnologies in combustion and anaerobic digestion (AD). Nine actors of the wood energy sector from France, Germany, and Sweden, and eleven AD platform operators from France, Germany, and Austria were interviewed. Questions related to installation, input materials, performed analyses, phytostabilization, and phytoextraction were asked.
