Cu amendment significantly increased the Σ12OPE concentrations in plant (Fig. 2). The Σ12OPEs increased by 63% and 55% in the roots of carrot and zucchini, respectively, and by 41%, 62% and 43% in the shoots of lettuce, tomato and maize, respectively. Accordingly, both RCF and TF ...
while process water increases the leaching of Cu, Mn, and Mo. Phosphate particularly promotes leaching of As and Cu, whereas it does not mobilize or even immobilize Pb in the tailings. ERA suggests that mainly old tailings pose a very high...
This improved solubility allows for better distribution and absorption of copper ions by plants when applied as a foliar spray or soil amendment. Furthermore, the hydrated form of copper sulphate exhibits better stability, as the water molecules act as a protective layer around the copper sulphate ...
Grasslands used in the revegetation process can be assisted by amendment; this is the most used type of contingency, as it is quick and cheap to implement and considerably able to restore the original ecological and functional properties of the contaminated space [121,122]. Studies have revealed...
