The combination of phytoremediation and electrokinetics remediation technology on arsenic contaminated remediation in tailing storage facilities from gold mine

Abstract

Plants treated with 1 V/cm electromagnetic field for 120 days had the highest arsenic accumulation. Treatment with 4 V/cm electromagnetic field can inhibit plant growth. Napier grass accumulated more arsenic in its roots than in its stems and leaves. Treatment with 1 V/cm electromagnetic field stimulated toxin uptake by plants.
