Thiol functionalized nano silica for in situ remediation of Pb
To decrease the bio toxicity of heavy metals a thiol functionalized nano silica SiO2 SH was adopted to remediate the soil contaminated by lead Pb cadmium Cd and copper Cu The remediation effect of SiO2 SH on contaminated soils was investigated by the uptake of the heavy metals into lettuce and pakchoi in pot experiment
