| Summary: | The remediation technology for contaminated soils, which represents an economic liability as well as a technical
challenge. Recent interest in metal hyper accumulation has been stimulated by the potential for phytoremediation of polluted
soils, using metal accumulating plants to clean soils of contaminants. The use of plants to clean up a site is an inexpensive
and environmental technique that can be adapted by the people. Phytoremediation technology is formed by 8 systems that
are phytoextraction, phytostabilization, phytodegradation, rhizodegradation, rhizofiltration, phytovolatilization, hydraulic
control, buffer strips (riparian buffer strips) and vegetative cover systems. This study focused on the phytoremediation that
use of plants to remove pollutants from the soil and water and to render them harmless. |
