| Summary |
"This book explains the concept of using phytotechnology with biomass production to improve soil quality and produce valuable products that have economic and social value. It is focused on the application of second generation biofuel crops to slightly contaminated or marginal post-military and post-mining soils. Based on recent research from the US, Ukraine, Germany, and Poland, along with studies from other countries, this is the first comprehensive book on using phytotechnology with biomass production at contaminated sites at a global level. It's also a great new resource for those who want to study and plan phytotechnology projects as well as those who carry them out"-- Provided by publisher. |

Larry E. Erickson is professor of chemical engineering at Kansas State University where he has been involved in hazardous substance teaching and research for more than 30 years. He teaches CHE 650 Hazardous Waste Engineering Seminar and CHE 670 Sustainability Seminar. He directed the Great Plains/Rocky Mountain Hazardous Substance Research Center from 1989- 2003 and the Center for Hazardous Substance Research from 1985-2018. He has helped to provide leadership for the NATO project New Phytotechnology for Cleaning Contaminated Military Sites. He has published several books and helped as coauthor of over 400 professional publications. His B.S.ChE. and PhD are in chemical engineering from Kansas State University. Valentina Pidlisnyuk is a professor in the Department of Environmental Chemistry and Technology at Jan Evangelista Purkyne University where she teaches classes in environmental chemistry, sustainable management of contaminated sites, and phytoremediation. Her research has a focus on phytoremediation with biomass production including growing miscanthus in contaminated soils. She has provided leadership as director of the NATO SPS project New Phytotechnology for Cleaning Contaminated Military Sites, and has organized workshops on phytoremediation of polluted military sites and environmental analytical chemistry with international participation. She has edited several books and is coauthor of over 350 professional publications. Her M.S. and PhD are in chemistry, and her professorship is in environmental science. |
