Improves soil health, enhances microbial activity, and promotes detoxification and stabilization of contaminants. Its unique chemical and biological properties make it very beneficial for the rehabilitation of contaminated soil.
R-COO- + Cd²- → (R-COO)₂Cd
R-OH + Cd² → R-O-Cd- + H⁺
R-COO- + R-OH + Cd²- → (R-COO)Cd(ROH)
Cd^{2+} + 2 (R-COO-) + (R-OH) → Cd(R-COO)₂(ROH)
Above interaction stabilizes the cadmium ion, reducing its bioavailability and mobility in the soil.
Promote soil aggregation for better aeration, water retention, and root penetration, creating a more favorable soil environment for plant growth and microbial activity.
Accelerate microbial degradation for the natural degradation and facilitate detoxification process by binding organic making them less harmful to plants, animals, and humans.
Promote soil aggregation for better aeration, water retention, and root penetration, creating a more favorable soil environment for plant growth and microbial activity.
Enhances the retention and availability of essential nutrients like N, P, K that is crucial in contaminated soils where nutrient imbalances or deficiencies exist due to toxic substances that interfere plant nutrient uptake.
Acts as a buffer, helping to stabilize soil pH in contaminated environments. Soil contamination lead to acidic or alkaline conditions that are harmful to plant growth and microbial activity.
