Approaches for reclamation of embankments from the extraction of polymetallic ores with soil improvers from waste and R. acetosella, and R. patientia
The present study examines the possibilities for reclamation of soils contaminated with heavy metals from the extraction of polymetallic ores with soil improvers mixture of waste – sludge from WWTP and ash from thermal power plants, through a vegetation experiment. Two herbaceous species of the genus Rumex were selected for the experiment – R. acetossela and R. patienta known for their ability to accumulate heavy metals and in particular copper. The results of the study prove the ability to use the improvers in biological reclamation of old embankments.
