Abstract
The efficiency of soil washing with tannic acid (TA) and saponin (SAP) was compared. In the contaminated soil, Cu and Zn were more mobile than Pb. At 3% concentration, both biosurfactants removed similar amounts of Zn (48 and 54%, respectively), SAP removed somewhat more Cu (81%), and TA removed considerably more Pb (63%). SAP removed more Cu due to its
