ABSTRACT
At the present manuscript, a brief report is given concerning heavy metals soil bioremediation methods and particularly phytoextraction by means of hyper-accumulator plants. The picking of the plants i.e. Thlaspi caerulescens should meet certain requirements according to already conducted experiments. Cultivations’ data of the aforementioned Cd and Zn phytoaccumulator species are demonstrated. The last part incorporates a case study of a heavy metal-contaminated area nearby an abandoned lead-zinc mine located somewhere in NE (Northeast) Greece and a fundamental operational & cost analysis of the whole remediation project.
KEYWORDS
