Phytoremediation: An Environmental Friendly Technique - A Review
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Phytoremediation technology is a cost effective and environmentally and ecologically friendly as it utilizes plants natural ability to suck the pollutant present in the soil. There are many plants having this natural ability to up take the heavy metals and organic pollutants from air, soil and water. There are different subsets of phytoremediation; the most effectively used ones are (a) phytofiltration (b) phytoextraction (c) phytostabilization (d) phytovolatilization. In the present review, current knowledge about the phytoremediation and its techniques are discussed.

The Investigation of the Nitro-Containing Cross-Linked Copolymers of Maleic Anhydride and Styrene as Chelating Sorbents for Extracting Uranyl-Ions from Water Systems
Copolymers of maleic anhydride and styrene were synthesized by block-radical polymerization. The structures of cross-linked copolymers were determined by IQ-spectroscopy. Based on the obtained structure, the shape of cro...
Variations in Nitrogen (NH4+, NO2-, NO3-) and Heavy Metal (Al and Cu)Levels of Water from Swimming Pools in the City Center and Districts of Canakkale, Turkey
In this study, some nitrogen (NO2-, NO3-, NH4+) and metal (Al and Cu) concentrations were analyzed during the summer period by using an ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy method in a total of 44 swimming pools loc...
Speciation of Metals and Risk Assessment in Selected Food Crop Samples Grown in Ohaji/Egbema LGA, Imo State, Nigeria
Ohaji Egbema is known for its oil production and exploration activities and so crops grown in this area could be contaminated. Chemical speciation was carried out on four commonly grown food crops in the area so as to de...
Study on the Interaction of Retinoic Acids to Human Serum Albumin by Fluorescence and Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy
Retinoic acids (RAs) are considered to be endocrine disruptor chemicals and toxic environmental priority pollutants. In this paper, the interactions between RAs and human serum albumin (HSA) were examined by steady state...
