Optimizing Heavy Metal Uptake in <i>Carpobrotus aequilaterus</i> Through Electrokinetic Treatment: A Comprehensive Study on Phytoremediation from Mine Tailings

Optimizing Heavy Metal Uptake in <i>Carpobrotus aequilaterus</i> Through Electrokinetic Treatment: A Comprehensive Study on Phytoremediation from Mine Tailings

Copper mining drives economic growth, with the global demand expected to reach 120 million metric tons annually by 2050. However, mining produces tailings containing heavy metals (HMs), which poses environmental risks. This study investigated the efficacy of phytoremediation (Phy) combined with elec...
