Phytoremediation

 

Phytoremediation, namely the process of plants taking contaminants from water, storing them for a certain period of time, and then breaking them down in their tissues. This works well because plants do all the work and we don't have much work for this technique. It is good for breaking the organic contaminants. This includes chemicals that make up carbohydrates and proteins. The plants we use for this process have enzymes that break down some chemicals. Other chemicals are broken down through metabolism, which is a chemical reaction that breaks or builds organic molecules. Phytoremediation is proposed as a cost-effective plant-based remediation approach that utilizes the ability of plants to centralize elements and compounds from the environment and to detoxify various compounds.

Phytoremediation is used to clean contaminated ground water near the former disposal area at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. It involves the use of plants and related microorganisms to improve function and restore contaminated soil. This method relies on natural processes in which plants and microbiota associated with degraded roots and / or binding contaminants. Phytoremediation is a plant-based approach, which involves using plants to extract and remove pollutants or reduce their bioavailability in soils (Berti and Cunningham, 2000). Plants have the ability to absorb ionic compounds in the soil even at low concentrations through their root systems. Plants expand their root systems into the soil matrix and build a rhizosphere ecosystem to accumulate heavy metals and modulate their bioavailability, thereby reclaiming polluted soils and stabilizing soil fertility.
