ABSTRACT
Phytoremediation of HM-contaminated soils yields plant biomass, which should be safely disposed of. This chapter provides an overview and references for technical parameters and characteristics of a variety of disposals and their application strategies for phytoremediation plants contaminated with HMs using thermochemical conversion processes such as combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis. Through combustion, gasification, or pyrolysis, plant biomass can be reduced with HMs. The techniques for obtaining solid, liquid, and gas by-products can be recycled using various methods. Each dumping and utilization option has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Combining several strategies may allow you to maximize their benefits while minimizing their drawbacks, which could be a realistic alternative.
