Detoxification of Heavy Metals

Abstract

Among the heavy metals, cadmium (Cd) and its fate in the soil have received a great attention because it is easily taken up by plants, making it more toxic than other heavy metals and consequently imposing harmful effects on human and other animals by entering food chain. This article reviews recent papers showing the behavior of Cd in calcareous soils specially under the salinity conditions. First, the chemistry of calcareous and saline soils is briefly discussed. A discussion on the application of fractionation and speciation analysis as important tools for investigating the mobility and environmental ecotoxicity of this element in calcareous soils is also being given. Finally, some examples on Cd detoxification in carbonate-rich soils along with applied techniques by different workers are also being outlined.
