The adsorption capacity of Cu-EDDS (32-38%), Pb-EDTA (~20%), and Zn-EDTA (~0%) complexes was limited. However, the co-existence of FWC and EDDS increased the mobilization of Cu and Zn, while the co-existence of FWC and EDTA reduced the available amounts of Cu and Pb in solution. Metal speciation calculation showed that nearly all extracted Cu, Zn, and Pb were complexed with chelants in the solution, while notable amount of dissolved Fe (but not Al and Ca) was associated with dissolved organic matter. In this study, FWC can be useful for minimizing the unintended leaching of Cu- and Pb-EDTA complexes in EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation, yet it might be less suitable for the case of EDDS. A novel integration of recycled waste can enhance the effectiveness of sustainable remediation of contaminated soils.]]> Tue 05 Jun 2018 14:58:09 AEST ]]>
