EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH


- New plant species, combinations and substrates
- Test at industrial scale
- Extend our solution to other sources of pollutants
- Assess whether selected plant species have zinc remediation activity on our system
- Identify the maximum zinc amount that a plant can accumulate
- Evaluate the influence of a substrate
