Soil bioremediation by cyclodextrins. A review
Remediation of soils contaminated by organic pollutants has become an urgent necessity worldwide. A wide variety of techniques have been
Role of cyclodextrins in the extraction and bioremediation of soils co-contaminated by organic pollutants and potentially toxic elements
Pollution of soils by persistent organic pollutants and potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is currently a significant concern worldwide. In many
CD-enhanced soil remediation by ‘sugar flushing’
There are several soil remediation technologies utilizing cyclodextrins as solubilizers of organic contaminants (Gruiz et al. 2019). Soil washing/flushing with
CDs in biodegradation-based soil remediation under aerobic conditions
The non-toxic, biodegradable cyclodextrins (CDs) can solubilize poorly soluble organic contaminants such as PAHs, PCBs, chlorinated solvents, etc. via molecular
CD-enabled elektrokinetic extraction of pollutants from soil
The electrokinetic extraction process removes metals and polar organic contaminants from low-permeability soil, mud, sludge, and marine dredging by applying
