Agromining: Farming for Metals : Extracting Unconventional Resources Using Plants /

This second and expanded edition of the first book on agromining (phytomining) presents a comprehensive overview of the metal farming and recovery of the agromining production chain. Agromining is an emerging technology that aims to transform the extraction of sources of target elements not accessib...
