Phytoremediation technologies and their mechanism for removal of heavy metal from contaminated soil: An approach for a sustainable environment

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The contamination of soils with heavy metals and its associated hazardous effects are a thrust area of today’s research. Rapid industrialization, emissions from automobiles, agricultural inputs, improper disposal of waste, etc., are the major causes of ...

Ecological catalysis and phytoextraction: Symbiosis for future [PDF]

Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, 2014
Abstract Metallophyte plants derived from phytoextraction are used as starting materials to prepare novel polymetallic catalysts. Polymetallic catalyst activity is used in many Lewis acid catalyzed reactions according to the polymetallic catalyst preparation.

Lead-induced genotoxicity to Vicia faba L.roots in relation with metal cell uptake and initial speciation [PDF]

, 2011
Formation of organometallic complexes in soil solution strongly influence metals phytoavailability. However, only few studies deal with the influence of metalspeciation both on plant uptake and genotoxicity. In the present study, Viciafaba seedlings were

Changes in metal availability, desorption kinetics and speciation in contaminated soils during repeated phytoextraction with the Zn/Cd hyperaccumulator Sedum plumbizincicola [PDF]

, 2016
Phytoextraction is one of the most promising technologies for the remediation of metal contaminated soils. Changes in soil metal availability during phytoremediation have direct effects on removal efficiency and can also illustrate the interactive ...

Phosphate‐Assisted Phytoextraction in As‐Contaminated Soil

Engineering in Life Sciences, 2004
AbstractIn this paper, the effect of phosphate on As phytoextraction was examined. The effect of phosphate on As dissolution, the As uptake of plants, the internal plant translocation, and phytotoxic effect were investigated. Lupine plants were grown on As‐contaminated soil collected from an industrial site containing 670 mg/kg As and were treated with

Tobacco, Sunflower and High Biomass SRC Clones Show Potential for Trace Metal Phytoextraction on a Moderately Contaminated Field Site in Belgium

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Phytoextraction could be a potential management option for diffusely Cd-Zn-Pb-polluted agricultural land in Northeast Belgium. The use of high yielding crops with a sufficiently high metal accumulation is preferred as these are expected to both gradually

Phytoextraction efficiency of Arabidopsis halleri is driven by the plant and not by soil metal concentration

, 2021
The hyperaccumulation trait allows some plant species to allocate remarkable amounts of trace metal elements (TME) to their foliage without suffering from toxicity.

Phytoextraction of Phosphorus‐Enriched Grassland Soils

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2009
High soil P contents in agricultural soils in the Netherlands cause excessive losses of P to surface waters. The reductions in P application rates in the present manure policy are not sufficient to reach surface water quality standards resulting from the European Water Framework Directive in 2015.

Phytoextraction of Cr(VI) from soil using Portulaca oleracea

, 2013
Cr(VI) represents an environmental challenge in both soil and water as it is soluble and bioavailable over a wide range of pH. In previous investigations, Portulaca oleracea (a plant local to the United Arab Emirates (UAE)) demonstrated particular ...

Insights into Cadmium-Induced Morphophysiological Disorders in Althea rosea Cavan and Its Phytoremediation through the Exogeneous Citric Acid

Agronomy, 2022
Cadmium (Cd) is taken in plants from soil and then travels through the food cycle, posing a major threat to all the units of the ecosystem. A pot experiment was conducted to understand the influence of citric acid (CA) on Cadmium (Cd) phytoextraction ...
