| description | Fossil fuel depletion and soil and water pollution gave impetus to the
development of a novel perspective of sustainable development. In addition
to the use of plant biomass for ethanol production, plants can be used to
reduce the concentration of heavy metals in soil and water. Due to tolerance
to high levels of metals, many plant species, crops, non-crops, medicinal,
and pharmaceutical energy plants are well-known metal hyperaccumulators.
This paper focuses on studies investigating the potential of Miscanthus sp.,
Beta vulgaris L., Saccharum sp., Ricinus communis L. Prosopis sp. and Arundo
donax L. in heavy metal removal and biofuel production. Phytoremediation
employing these plants showed great potential for bioaccumulation of Co, Cr,
Cu, Al, Pb, Ni, Fe, Cd, Zn, Hg, Se, etc. This review presents the potential
of lignocellulose plants to remove pollutants being a valuable substrate for
biofuel production. Also, pretreat-ments, dealing with toxic biomass, and
biofuel production are discussed. |
