You're left with a much smaller volume of willow wood than the original soil. Wood that could be then be dried to reduce its weight even more.
It could then be used as a biofuel in a fluidized bed reactor specifically created to handle such heavy metal dense fuel, as suggested in this paper.[1] Most of the heavy metals remain in the ash, the cadmium needs to be trapped in the exhaust.

So, in the end, are you left with contaminated willow wood with heavy metals inside of it? How deep does the willow plant remediate?
