 Types of phytoremediation
 Merits and Demerits of phytoremediation
 Application of phytoremediation.
Phytoremediation
 Phytoremediation is a bioremediation process that uses various types of plants
to remove, transfer, stabilize, and/or destroy contaminants in the soil and
ground water.
 Phytoremediation is a cost-effective plant-based approach of remediation that
takes advantage of the ability of plants to concentrate elements and compounds
from the environment and to metabolize various molecules in their tissues.
 It refers to the natural ability of certain plants called hyperaccumulators to
bioaccumulate, degrade, or render harmless contaminants in soils, water, or air.
 Toxic heavy metals and organic pollutants are the major targets for
phytoremediation.
Types of phytoremediation
 Phytoextraction
 Phytodegradation
 Phytostabilization
 Phytovolatilization
 Rhizodegradation.
Merits and Demerits
 Merits :
1. It preserves the topsoil, maintaining the fertility of the soil
2. Increase soil health, yield, and plant phytochemicals
3. the use of plants also reduces erosion and metal leaching in the soil
 Demerits:
1. Phytoremediation is limited to the surface area and depth occupied by the roots.
2. Slow growth and low biomass require a long-term commitment.
Applications
 Phytoremediation may be applied wherever the soil or static water environment has
become polluted or is suffering ongoing chronic pollution.
 Examples where phytoremediation has been used successfully include the
restoration of abandoned metal mine workings, and sites where polychlorinated
biphenyls have been dumped during manufacture and mitigation of ongoing coal
mine discharges reducing the impact of contaminants in soils, water, or air.
 Contaminants such as metals, pesticides, solvents, explosives, and crude oil and its
derivatives, have been mitigated in phytoremediation projects worldwide.
 Many plants such as mustard plants, alpine pennycress, hemp, and pigweed have
proven to be successful at hyperaccumulating contaminants at toxic waste sites.
Conclusion
 Phytoremediation is economically low cost method that can be applied for
wide range of contaminants in the soil.
 Plants like marigold, poplar tree, mustard, sunflower etc., are found to have
good remediation against the contaminants.
Feedback for the course
 It is an extremely beneficial and important course for academicians like us since we are
required to write research papers, articles and case studies for professional enhancement.
Hence, it is important to have good academic writing skills
 The entire course content is well planned and designed which enables step by step learning.
Plagiarism and Journal and Author Metrics were the two modules I liked the most.
 I am definitely going to take suggestions from the current ‘Academic Writing Course’ that
I’m attending. I sincerely hope to continuously strive to excel as a professional writer.
 I thank the coordinators of this course to have spent their time and efforts to compile these
modules for the benefit of the entire professional community.
Acknowlegement
 I am thankful to UGC - MOOC Academic Writing course for inspiring me do this work.
 Also I thank DR. AJAY SEMALTY for teaching us clearly the importance of the course and
how to use the knowledge gained through this course.
 Lastly I thank my college management for including this course in our academics
Thank you!
