Evaluation of Copper-Contaminated Marginal Land for the Cultivation of Vetiver Grass (<i>Chrysopogon zizanioides</i>) as a Lignocellulosic Feedstock and its Impact on Downstream Bioethanol Production
Metal-contaminated soil could be sustainably used for biofuel feedstock production if the harvested biomass is amenable to bioethanol production. A 60-day greenhouse experiment was performed to evaluate (1) the potential of vetiver grass to phytostabilize soil contaminated with copper (Cu), and (2)...
