organic contaminant have been discribed as timitant factor for metal phytoremediation. could anyone give me more information about the level. I mean in which concentration of Organic Contaminant is a limit for metal removal.
Problem with organic matter is that lowers the amount of bio-available metal
There are many models to describe this behaviour and you need to consider other physical parameters and aspects as well, such as pH etc
However, the concentration of metal for remediation experiment is sometimes so high that , there in no worry about contribution of organic matter, since ther would be plenty of metal available.
For more details, have a look at one of my publications
thank you a lot. but my question was not on organic matter, although it is one of the key for metal reemedial, but Organic contaminat such us phenenthrene, pyrene,,,,,PAHs
