Application of Lemna minor in site remediation strategies Hasselt University
This PhD project deals with phytoremediation: the development of an eco-friendly and cost-effective technology to remove radioactive pollution from waste water using the aquatic plant Lemna minor (duckweed). A literature review on the potential of using photosynthetic organisms for remediation of radioactively contaminated water, revealed a small number of good quality studies for a limited amount of radionuclides. Most studies are performed ...
