A comparative study on the efficacy of conventional and green chelating agents for soil heavy metal remediation
XinYan Li
Abstract:Soil heavy metal contamination poses significant risks to ecological balance, vegetation, agricultural productivity, and human health due to the toxicity, persistence, and resistance to degradation of heavy metal ions. Chelation presents a widely employed method for heavy metal ion removal. While conventional chelating agents exhibit high removal efficiencies, they are associated with ecological hazards. In contrast, green chelating agents have gained prominence for their environmentally friendly attributes. T… Show more
