Application of phytotechnologies for cleanup of industrial, agricultural, and wastewater contamination
by Pidlisnyuk, Valentina V., Kulakow, Peter A., NATO, NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Application of Phytotechnologies for Cleanup of Industrial, Agricultural and Wastewater Contamination to Enhance Environmental and Food Security, Kamenetz-Podilsky)
fromNATO science for peace and security series
As government and community leaders, private companies, citizens, and applied scientists search for low-cost methods to cleanup environmental pollution, phytotechnologies can contribute to the solution by utilizing natural processes to reduce environmental risk. Phytotechnologie…
This volume gives an overview of the various ways to valorise biomass for energy production as well as for pollution treatment of contaminated soils and wastewaters. It focuses on the fact that we could produce renewable energy from biomass without using corn, sugarcane or colza…
Sustainable sources of energy and a supply of good quality water are two major challenges facing modern societies across the globe. Biomass from cultivated plants may be used to generate energy, but at the cost of contaminated surface waters from pesticide and fertiliser use. Th…
