The current state of the art regarding the use of chelating agents to extract heavy metal
contaminants has been addressed. Results are presented for treatability studies conducted …

This paper reviews current remediation technologies that use chelating agents for the
mobilization and removal of potentially toxic metals from contaminated soils. These …

Phytoremediation is a site remediation strategy, which employs plants to remove non-
volatile and immisible soil contents. This sustainable and inexpensive process is emerging …

This study discusses the operating variables for removal of metals from soils using EDTA,
including the type of EDTA, reaction time, solution pH, dose, temperature, agitation …

Bioremediation of metal-contaminated wastestreams has been successfully demonstrated.
Normally, whole cells or microbial exopolymers are used to concentrate and/or precipitate …

The effects of solution: soil ratio, major cations present in soils, and the
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA): lead stoichiometric ratio on the extraction of lead …

Abstract Soils contaminated with Pb, Zn and Cd are hazardous. Persistent EDTA and
biodegradable GLDA, EDDS and IDS have been used as chelators in the ReSoil soil …

Emphasizing the utility of copper-related compounds, this text illustrates the numerous
current and potential uses from agricultural bactericides and wood preservatives to …

Precipitation and sorption of heavy metals reduce their mobility and limit the effectiveness of
in-situ remediation technologies. In electroremediation, metal mobility can be further …

Removal of toxic heavy metals from a soil matrix by the addition of ethylenediamine
tetraacetic acid (EDTA) is an effective means of remediation. The liquid stream containing …
