Soil contamination caused by heavy metals has become a serious environmental and health-related problem to human. Copper (Cu) is essential to human and plants in appropriate amount but toxicant if excessive. Although soil washing has been developed for a long time for heavy metal remediation, there are few studies focusing on Cu, especially in the case of extreme concentration of metal and dissolved organic matters (DOM). Thus, based on the literature reviews about soil washing,...
