Proceeding of the Third Green Week Scientific Conference. p. 200-208. | Abstract: | Due to atmospheric deposition of dust, a large agricultural area in Belgium is moderately superficially (0-40 cm) contaminated with lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd). Phytoremediation is a technique that uses plants for the removal of pollutants or to render them harmless. Rapeseed and SRC seem a good choice because of high accumulation of metals. When income and energy production come into play, energy maize has a competitive advantage. Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) can be a helpful tool to decide on the appropriate non-food purpose crop. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/11811 | Link to publication/dataset: | http://www.mace-events.org/greenweek2009/5826-MACE.html | ISBN: | 978-3-938584-42-2 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
