Bioaccumulation in Porcellio scaber (Crustacea, Isopoda) as a measure of the EDTA remediation efficiency of metal-polluted soil.

Terestrial isopodes P.scaber were used for the first time as sesitive bioindicators of bioavailability of heavy metals residual in soil after remediation with chelating agents. Environmental Pollution is one of the leading journals in the field of Environmental sciences.

The effect of earthworms on the fractionation and bioavailability of heavy metals before and after soil remediation

We showed for the first time that environmental factors (earthworms were used as a model for biotic soil factors) change fractionation and bio-availability of heavy metals,residual in soil after remediation. The paper was publisged in a high-ranking journal.

Multi-step leaching of Pb and Zn contaminated soils with EDTA.

Result of this research indicate more efficient leaching of heavy metals from contaminated soils when chelat is used in multiple small doses. The effect was contributed to a lower complexation of EDTA with soil Fe and Ca. The paper was publisged in a high-ranking journal.

The two-phase leaching of Pb, Zn and Cd contaminated soil using EDTA and electrochemical treatment of the washing solution

The feasibility of electrochemical treatment of soil washing solution using boron doped diamond anode, after extraction of contaminated soil with EDTA, was demonstrated for the first time. Two-phase soil remediation: soil leaching / soil rinsing with treated washing solution was proposed. Chemosphere is one of the leading journals in the field of Environmental sciences.

Effect of ozonation on polychlorinated biphenyl degradation and soil physico-chemical properties

Paper was published in the leading journal in the field of Environmental engineering, in collaboration with research group from abroad. We applied soil ozonation as a tool to achieve faster degradation and removal of PCBs from contaminated soil by native microbial populations.
