Abstract:

Phytoremediation is an alternative biological treatment that can be used to reduce soil or water pollutants. Phytoremediation has the advantage of environmentally friendly waste products and a lower budget compared to physical and chemical processes. In addition, phytoremediation has the weakness of long contaminant absorption times, and quite a few plants that are used as phytoremediation agents die because they are unable to survive the high concentrations of heavy metals contained in polluted media. This study aims to determine the ability of the S. javanica (S. javanica) plant as a phytoremediator for soil contaminated with the heavy metal Zn from industrial wastewater. Phytoremediation lasted for 10 days by contacting artificial Zn wastewater with a concentration of 5 mg/L and as much as 50 ml/day on the test plants. The planting medium used was 100% soil (A1) and 50% homogenized soil with 50% manure (A2). Tests were carried out on each part of the plant and growing medium with contact times of 0, 5, and 10 days of phytoremediation. The plant used as a phytoremediator is Sangitan (S. javanica). The optimum contact time in this study occurred on the 10th day of phytoremediation, and the addition of a 50% dose of organic matter in manure had an effect on the concentration of the heavy metal Zn. The accumulation of heavy metal Zn in plant leaves was greater than in roots, with an average BCF of 0.694 for leaves and 0.308 for roots. While the TF value > 1 represents that the Sangitan plant (S. javanica) has the potential to be a phytoremediator and has a high ability to translocate the heavy metal Zn.

Abstract:

Contamination of aquatic ecosystems by various sources has become a major worry all over the world. Pollutants can enter the human body through the food chain from aquatic and soil habitats. These pollutants can cause various chronic diseases in humans and mortality if they collect in the body over an extended period. Although the phytoremediation technique cannot completely remove harmful materials, it is an environmentally benign, cost-effective, and natural process that has no negative effects on the environment. The main types of phytoremediation, their mechanisms, and strategies to raise the remediation rate and the use of genetically altered plants, phytoremediation plant prospects, economics, and usable plants are reviewed in this review. Several factors influence the phytoremediation process, including types of contaminants, pollutant characteristics, and plant species selection, climate considerations, flooding and aging, the effect of salt, soil parameters, and redox potential. Phytoremediation’s environmental and economic efficiency, use, and relevance are depicted in our work. Multiple recent breakthroughs in phytoremediation technologies are also mentioned in this review.

Abstract:

Phytoremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils is a challenging process. In an effort to enhance phytoremediation, soil was artificially contaminated with known concentration of light crude oil containing Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) at a concentration of 75 gkg−1 soil. The contaminated soil was subjected to phytoremediation trial using four plant species (Oryza longistaminata, Sorghum arundinaceum, Tithonia diversifolia, and Hyparrhenia rufa) plus no plant used as control for natural attenuation. These phytoremediators were amended with concentrations (0, 5 and 10 gkg−1 soil) of organic manure (cow dung). Results at 120 days after planting, showed that application of manure at concentrations of 5 and 10 gkg−1 soil combined with an efficient phytoremediator can significantly enhance reduction of TPH compared to natural attenuation or use of either manure or a phytoremediator alone (p<0.05). The study also showed that a treatment combination of manure 5 gkg−1 soil, with a phytoremediator gives a similar mean percentage reduction of TPH as manure 10 gkg−1 soil (p>0.05). Therefore, the study concludes that use of phytoremediators and manure 5 gkg−1 soil could promote the restoration of TPH contaminated-soils in the Sudd region of South Sudan.

Abstract:

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic metals in the environment, and has noxious effects on plant growth and production. Cd-accumulating plants showed reduced growth and productivity. Therefore, remediation of this non-essential and toxic pollutant is a prerequisite. Plant-based phytoremediation methodology is considered as one a secure, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective approach for toxic metal remediation. Phytoremediating plants transport and accumulate Cd inside their roots, shoots, leaves, and vacuoles. Phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated sites through hyperaccumulator plants proves a ground-breaking and profitable choice to combat the contaminants. Moreover, the efficiency of Cd phytoremediation and Cd bioavailability can be improved by using plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Emerging modern molecular technologies have augmented our insight into the metabolic processes involved in Cd tolerance in regular cultivated crops and hyperaccumulator plants. Plants’ development via genetic engineering tools, like enhanced metal uptake, metal transport, Cd accumulation, and the overall Cd tolerance, unlocks new directions for phytoremediation. In this review, we outline the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms involved in Cd phytoremediation. Further, a focus on the potential of omics and genetic engineering strategies has been documented for the efficient remediation of a Cd-contaminated environment.

Abstract:

Batik is one of Indonesia's cultural treasures that is popular and worldwide. However, behind the manufacturing process, batik creates textile liquid waste that requires processing because it contains hazardous substances. Kampung Batik Jetis Sidoarjo is one of the locations for batik craftsmen in Indonesia. Textile liquid waste contains a lot of hazardous substances such as dyes, heavy metals, and suspended solids. On average, textile wastewater in Indonesia contains 750 mg/l suspended solids and 500 mg/l BOD. Comparison of COD:BOD is in the range of 1.5:1 to 3:1. Phytoremediation is an environmentally friendly method that is widely used to treat waste. Water hyacinth is a phytoremediator plant used in this activity because it has the ability to absorb pollutants that are cheap and easy to find. Phytoremediation reactor is used to assist the process of Phytoremediation. This activity aims to educate the people of Kampung Batik Jetis in processing textile liquid waste and being able to build a phytoremediation reactor. The benefits obtained are that the hazardous substances in textile wastewater are reduced and are safely disposed of in water bodies. The results obtained in this activity are increasing the knowledge of the people of Kampung Jetis in processing textile liquid waste using a Phytoremediation reactor.

Abstract:

The Phytoremediation of distillery effluent employing water hyacinth as a phytoremediator has been assessed in terms of reduction in pH, EC,BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, Na and K. the effluent has been treated for 60 days. A significant reduction in all the selected parameters of distillery effluent over zero day value has been observed. A model for studying the phytoremediation potential of water hyacinth (E.crassipes,) against distillery effluent has been developed and analyzed. All parameters exhibited exponential decrease from the start up to 45 days and thereafter showed negligible decrease till the termination of the experiment. The value of absorption coefficient (µ) calculated from the observed as well as estimated values of all parameters have been found comparable. The proposed phytoremediation model establishes that this technique can be profitably employed for the abatement of pollution from industrial waste water.

Abstract:

Arsenic contamination of the environment is a serious problem threatening the health of millions of people exposed to arsenic (As) via drinking water and crops grown in contaminated areas. The remediation of As-contaminated soil and water bodies needs to be sustainable, low-cost and feasible to apply in the most affected low-to-middle income countries, like India and Bangladesh. Phytoremediation is an aesthetically appreciable and successful approach that can be used for As decontamination with use of the best approach(es) and the most promising plant(s). However, phytoremediation lacks the required speed and sometimes the stress caused by As could diminish plants’ potential for remediation. To tackle these demerits, we need augment plants’ potential with appropriate technological methods including microbial and nanoparticles applications and genetic modification of plants to alleviate the As stress and enhance As accumulation in phytoremediator plants. The present review discusses the As phytoremediation prospects of soil and water bodies and the usefulness of various plant systems in terms of high biomass, high As accumulation, bioenergy potential, and economic utility. The potential and prospects of assisted phytoremediation approaches are also presented.

Abstract:

Textile industry caused the increase of the heavy metal Zn in soil in the form of sludge. Waste treatment by the phytoremediation method is one of the alternatives of environmental refinement with low cost and high effectiveness. This study used sunflower plants (Helianthus annuusL.) as a phytoremediator. The chelating agent EDTA was added in some treatment to increase the heavy metal absorption. The addition of 1.5 kg sludge on growth media inhibits the sunflower growth. T0K0 treatment has the most efficient result with a total Zn absorption of 101.74 mg/kg. T0K0 treatment was able to reduce Zn up to 96%. In 100% soil treatment, the EDTA additions decreased the ability of sunflower plants to absorb Zn metal in the phytoremediation process. However, in the 40% sludge treatment, the addition of EDTA did not affect the ability of sunflower plants to absorb the Zn metal in the phytoremediation process.

Abstract:

Mining operations degrade natural ecosystems by generating a large quantity of mine tailings. Mine tailings remain in dams/open ponds without further treatment after valuable metals such as iron ore have been extracted. Therefore, rehabilitation of tailings to mitigate the negative environmental impacts is of the utmost necessity. This review compares existing physical, chemical and amendment-assisted phytoremediation methods in the rehabilitation of mine tailings from the perspective of cost, reliability and durability. After review and discussion, it is concluded that amendment-assisted phytoremediation has received comparatively great attention; however, the selection of an appropriate phytoremediator is the critical step in the process. Moreover, the efficiency of phytoremediation is solely dependent on the amendment type and rate. Further, the application of advanced plant improvement technologies, such as genetically engineered plants produced for this purpose, would be an alternative solution. Further research is needed to determine the suitability of this method for the particular environment.

Abstract:

The identification of species that promote phytoremediation of herbicides is of great relevance to reduce the impact of these products on the environment. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of plant species in the phytoremediation of the indaziflam herbicide. The phytoremediation potential for indaziflam of 15 species of green manure was evaluated at different sowing times of the Phaseolus vulgaris (bioindicator), after the herbicide application. P. vulgaris was sown after the removal of the aerial part of the selected green manure. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, and each green manure species was evaluated separately in a completely randomized design, with four replications. The treatments were arranged in a 3 x 5 factorial layout, consisting of three doses of indaziflam (0, 75 and 100g a.i. ha-¹) and five sowing times (5, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after the herbicide application). According to the phytotoxicity and biometric evaluations of green manure, the potential species for the phytoremediation of the indaziflam were selected. The results showed that, apart from the species Lupinus albus, Canavalis ensiformis and Mucuna cinerea, the other green manure evaluated were highly susceptible to the herbicide indaziflam. However, although these potential species presented less control by indaziflam, none of them were effective in their soil phytoremediation. The bioindicator showed high phytotoxicity and reduction of dry mass due to the herbicide, regardless of the green manure sowing season on both doses of indaziflam. As a phytoremediator, none of the green manure species were effective for indaziflam even after 120 days of the herbicide application.

Abstract:

Riparian ecosystems have a protective function of watersheds from pollution. One important component in riparian ecosystem is the presence of phytoremediation plants, which can degrade contamination content. This research is intended to identify the presence of undergrowth that functions as phytoremediation in Bojongsoang District which is one of the areas around the heavily polluted Citarum watershed zone[1]. The method used in this research is vegetation analysis using the quadrant method with 1x1 m2 plot size. Determination of sampling points used purposive sampling method. The results of the study found that the undergrowth as a potential phytoremediation included rumput teki (Cyperus rotundus), Beluntas (Pluchea indica), Alang-alang (Imperata cylindrica), Jejarongan (Chloris barbata), rumput gajah (Cyperus rotundus), and bayam duri (Amaranthus spinosus). Rumput teki (Cyperus rotundus) is phyto-extractions in mercury-contaminated soils and accumulators of Sn, Zn, As, Cu, and Pb. Alang-alang (Imperata cylindrical) is a cyanide phytoremediator which is able to extract Zn from contaminated soil, and absorb Pb from contaminated soil. Beluntas is able to accumulate Cu, Fe, Al, Pb and Zn in their roots, leaves and stems, and the leaves that can absorb Cr. Rumput gajah (Cyperus rotundus) are a Cd accumulator. Bayam duri (Amaranthus spinosus) hyperaccumulator against mercury. Studies on the presence of phytoremediation plants can provide preliminary information on the condition of riparian ecosystems in the Citarum watershed.

Abstract:

This research explores the rapid environmental impact of the batik industry, particularly concerning batik waste pollution, especially from the heavy metal copper (Cu). Untreated batik waste can have adverse effects on the environment. The study highlights the potential of the water fern plant (Salvinia molesta) as a heavy metal phytoremediator, specifically for Cu, by activating phytochelatin synthase. The research aims to determine the most effective waste concentration for Cu absorption by water ferns, measure the reduction in Cu levels after phytoremediation treatment, evaluate post-phytoremediation water quality, and observe PCS gene expression in the roots and leaves of water ferns. A static method is employed with variations in waste concentrations. Data analysis utilizes one-way ANOVA for Cu level reduction and changes in water quality. The results indicate that the most effective wastewater concentration for absorbing heavy metal copper (Cu) using water fern (Salvinia molesta) is 2%. The highest reduction in heavy metal copper (Cu) concentration after phytoremediation treatment with water fern (Salvinia molesta) is 41.48%. Water quality post-phytoremediation treatment using water fern (Salvinia molesta) at all concentrations exhibits improvement with an increase in dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. The expression of the phytochelatin synthase (PCS) gene in the leaves and roots of water fern (Salvinia molesta) confirms the role of the PCS gene in binding heavy metal copper (Cu) to the plant's vacuole.

Abstract:

The long-term goal of this research is the management of vaname shrimp culture that is certified "Good Fish Cultivation" (GFC) based on environmentally friendly and sustainable technology so that its products can be accepted in domestic and foreign markets. The specific target is the implementation of phytoremediation technology in shrimp aquaculture at the Marine Field Station owned by FPIK UNSRAT which will be developed into the North Sulawesi Marine Education Center (NSMEC) area. The long-term goals and specific targets above will support the leading areas of maritime and maritime affairs in the Unsrat Research Master Plan. Analysis of water quality parameters and shrimp growth response using controlled-scale phytoremediation technology was carried out to see the remediation ability of Eucheuma denticulatum seaweed. Research method using phytoremediation technology application on white shrimp cultivation in the form of demonstration plots. The average growth in the plots provided with seaweed ranged from 8.3 g to 8.4 g. While the control that was not stocked with seaweed, the average weight growth was 6.6 g. This figure shows quite different values for different treatments. Water quality parameters such as DO, pH showed better water quality conditions in the plots spread with seaweed. This shows that Eucheuma denticulatum seaweed is capable of being a phytoremediator for the environment where the vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is present. Seaweed Eucheuma denticulatum has the ability to absorb waste such as the faces of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Keywords: phytoremediation, seaweed, vaname shrimp, East Likupang.

Abstract:

This study assessed the impact of phytoremediation on reducing the residual concentration of metolachlor in soil treated with doses of 530.7 and 1061.4 g/ha and its effect on microbial biodiversity in contaminated areas. For the plant species Avena sativa and Medicago sativa, a significant efficacy of 54.5 and 36.4% was observed in the dissipation of the herbicide, especially at higher doses. Although metolachlor application reduced soil microbial biodiversity, phytoremediating plants, especially M. sativa, promoted greater richness and distribution of microbial species, mitigating the negative effects of the herbicide. Principal component analysis revealed the influence of these plants and metolachlor on the composition of the microbial community. These results highlight the importance of phytoremediation in promoting soil biodiversity and reducing herbicide contamination, providing crucial insights for remediation strategies in contaminated areas.

Abstract:

The detection of perfluorochemicals (PFCs) in various environmental compartments has raised attention and driven countermeasures to reduce their prevalence. Phytoremediation provides a feasible option for PFCs removal from the environment. Crops such as maize, carrots, lettuce, tomato and spinach have demonstrated the ability to phytoextract and phytoaccumulate PFCs. The bioconcentration factors (BCFs) of PFCs in plants widely vary with plant types, plant parts, the types of PFCs and the properties of soil. Maize straw for instance was shown to have a high BCF (35.23) for perfluorobutanoic acid in comparison to maize kernel with a BCF of only 0.229 for the same compound. Maize leaves have a BCF of 9.39 for perfluorohexane sulphonic acid and maize roots have a BCF of 8.82 for perfluorooctane sulphonic acid. Carrots were found to degrade fluorotelomers whereas silver birch and long beechfern are good accumulators of numerous PFCs. BCFs of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids are usually negatively correlated to the carbon chain lengths due to decreasing aqueous solubilities with increasing carbon chain lengths which impede root uptake of the compounds. PCFs phytoremediation is low cost, less energy intensive, operationally simple and environmentally friendly but has the drawbacks of inconsistent performance, long duration, and lacking evidence on mineralization of perfluoroalkyl substances. The use of non-crop plants for PFCs phytoremediation is promulgated due to concern of food wastage and the biomass generated from phytoremediating plants should ideally be suitable as feedstock for bioenergy production. This review contributes to further advancement of PFCs phytoremediation by addressing its current limitations.

The aim of the study was to identify native plants growing on a petroleum contaminated site in Malacca, Malaysia, which have a phytoremediation potential on petroleum. The second aim was to identify native plants at the same contaminated site for phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminants or hyper accumulation plants. In the initial screening of contaminated sites, some of the native plants were found to have the capability to grow in very high concentration of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH). This indicates that some of these plants have high potential to act as a phytoremediator. Paspalum vaginatum Sw, Paspalum scrobiculatum L. varbispicatum Hack, Eragrostis atrovirens (Desf.) Trin. exSteud, Cayratia trifolia (L.) Domin, Chloris barbata (L.) Sw, Pycreus polystachyos (Rottb.) Beauv and Ischaemum timorense Kunth were found to be potential phytoremediatory of TPH in contaminated soil. These plants were chosen based on thier high rate of survival in contaminated sites and in terms of uptake or in degrading contaminants. The Biological Accumulation Coefficient (BAC) has been used as a guideline to choose potential plants for heavy metal phytoremediation. In the study, the plants were screened based on BAC values for arsenic (As) and lead (Pb). The selected plants, Melochia corchorifolia L., Ludwigia octovalvis (Jacq.) P. H. Raven, P. vaginatum, Cyperus sphacelatus Rottb., are potential as phytoremediators while L. octovalvis and Melastoma malabathricum L. are potential Pb phytoremediators.

Abstract:

The growth of the textile industry, including the Sasirangan textile industry, is increasing yearly, producing large amounts of liquid waste. Generally, this wastewater is discharged into the environment without treatment, becoming a source of environmental pollution. Therefore, it is crucial to reduce these pollutants. Various methods, not only physical and chemical but also biological methods, are available to remediate wastewater. Phytoremediation has provided an economical, environmentally friendly, and aesthetic solution to remediate wastewater. This study aimed to utilize the Water Hyacinth plant as a phytoremediator and determine its effect in reducing Total Suspended Solid and colors in the liquid waste of the Sasirangan textile industry. This research begins by preparing Water Hyacinth plants. Next, the characterization of Water Hyacinth roots using FTIR and SEM. Finaly, the acclimatization of water Hyacinth, followed by a phytoremediation process for 15 days. Based on the results of the characterization of Water Hyacinth roots with FTIR, it shows that Water Hyacinth roots contain functional groups O-H strain, C-H vibrations, C=O strain, C-H deformation, and C-O stretching. Observations with SEM showed that the roots of Water Hyacinth were extremely unstructured and had pores. However, it has cavities which are pores in cellulose. The significant decrease in Total Suspended Solid was at 9 days of phytoremediation, which was 54 mg/L (71.12% removal). The optimum color reduction within 9 days of phytoremediation was 81.5 PtCo (92.26% removal). The presence of these functional groups and pores, strengthened by the analysis of Total Suspended Solid and colors, showed that Water Hyacinth could reduce levels of Total Suspended Solids and colors in the Sasirangan textile wastewater.

Abstract:

Aim: To assess the ability of phosphorus to counteract harmful effects of heavy metals by reducing their concentration and increasing the maize yield. Methodology: Bulk surface soil sample (0-15 cm) was collected from heavy metal polluted soil of coal mine areas of Sutnga. Two pot experiments were conducted. Ten kg capacity pots were laid out for three phytoremediating crop and replicated 33 times. The processed soil was used for filling the pots. The first pot experiment was conducted to assess the phytoremediation efficiency of Helianthus annus and Vigna ungniculata on heavy metal polluted soil. Thereafter in the second pot experiment Zea mays L. was planted in pots maintained under experiment 1 and subsequently eleven levels of phosphorus i.e. 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 mg P kg-1 soil were super imposed in non-phytoremediated soil, phytoremediated soils through SSP. The elemental uptake and concentration of available phosphorus and heavy metal was determined.? Results: From the first pot culture experiment, it was observed that heavy metals content in soil after harvesting of phytoremediating crops reduced significantly in both the phytoremediated soils as compared to non-phytoremediated soil. From the second pot experiment it was observed that phosphorus as well as the heavy metals concentration and uptake in maize decreased significantly with increasing doses of phosphorus added in non phytoremediated soil.? Interpretation: This study clearly indicates that sunflower can be successfully grown as a phytoremediating crop in coal mine affected soils of Jaintia hills for phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted soils.

The article is devoted to optimization of phytoremediation of toluene in ecologically polluted areas. The tasks of optimization of phytoremediation process in closed production sites the air of which is polluted with toluene non – homogen ically are considered and solved. In order to solve the formulated task on optimization of serial phytoremediation the new notion that is intensity of phytoremediation is suggested and the averaged value of latter is imposed by limitation condition. It is shown, that upon carrying out of serial phytoremediation of sites polluted non-homogenically with toluene the optimization of phytoremediation process can be implemented by providing the non-linear dependence between the speed of removal of polluter and duration of one subcycle of remediation.

Abstract:

Clean water as basic need produced by the Regional Water Company (PDAM) and the by-product of this production was in the form of sludge. PDAM sludge contain Aluminium in the form of Al (OH)3 with the potential pollution if thrown into environment. This research aims to determine the efficiency of removal of Al metal on PDAM sludge through phytoremediation by using jasmine water plants and to determine the absorption of Al metal that accumulates in the roots of water jasmine plants in phytoremediation I (without media) and phytoremediation II (with gravel and humus soil). Sludge sample was carried out directly on the outlet sludge drying bed PDAM Water Treatment Plant (IPA) Tanjung Sari. The phytoremediation process is then carried out to reducted Al metal content in the sludge by using water jasmine plants. Furthermore, Al metal concentrations were analyzed at 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 days of contact and analysis of Al metal absorption on the roots of jasmine water plants was done after phytoremediation process in days-11. The result showed at the contact time 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 day, the efficiency of Al metal concentration on the phytoremediation I in a sequence were 46%; 62%; 72%; 80%; and 83%, while in phytoremediation II were 50%; 67%; 75%; 81%; and 86%. The concentration of Al metal absorption on the roots of jasmine plant water at phytoremediation I and phytoremediation II are 898,10 mg/l dan 302,42 mg/l. The high absorption in the phytoremediation I due to the absence of planting media so the metal occurs more optimal but they really experienced low power regeneration. While in phytoremediation II which has a growing media, formed a rizosfer zone which is rich in oxygen and microorganism so that the plant having a higher level of regeneration.

Abstract:

Phytoremediation is usually applied to passively treat Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) by constructing a wetland. To increase the success of the AMD treatment method, laboratory trials were carried out on a pilot scale, and the experimental results were applied on an actual scale. Therefore, a simple design will be prepared for this research that replicates the wetland work system. This research aimed to produce a prototype that could be used for initial testing of phytoremediation on a smaller scale before being applied to field conditions. The installation design was created using Adobe Illustrator software. The trial lasted two months, using modified acid water and flowing it periodically as controlled droplets via an infusion tap into the media that used Typha sp and Pistia stratiotes L as phytoremediator agents. This equipment was tested with three acidity levels, 4, 5, and 6, repeated twice for two months. Results showed that the prototype was built using three buckets arranged in layers, each with its function. The phytoremediation process had successfully occurred in this study, and installation was suitable to support the process. There was a change in AMD acidity around the plants for five weeks and an increase in acidity the fourth week after treatment at the outlet. It could be seen that AMD with lower acidity levels resulted in greater plant damage in the sixth week, but Typha sp still showed resistance to an acidic environment.

Phytoremediationn of Cadmium (Cd) Contaminated Soil using Hanjuang Plants (Cordyline fruticosa)Phytoremediation of Cadmium (Cd) contaminated soil using ornamental plants is one method that applicable and environmental friendly in the process absorption of metal in the soil. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of phytoremediation and the potential of hanjuang plants as phytoremediation agents for cadmium metals. Hanjuang plants are planted on soil media which is previously added to heavy media as pollutants, namely Cd(NO3)2 with a concentration of 0; 50; 100; 150 mg/Kg for 42 days. Measurement of Cd concentration uses Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry instrument. The results showed that hanjuang plants could accumulate cadmium metals in the roots. The highest accumulation is found in the roots of plants at 150 mg/Kg concentration and the result is 36.2167 mg/Kg, whereas in the stems and leaves of plants is not found heavy metal absorptions. Hanjuang plants contaminated with cadmium metal have a bioconcentration value (BCF)<1 so that they are included in the metal excluder group or low accumulator. The highest distribution of cadmium metal concentration is in the roots with transport factor (TF)<1 so that hanjuang plants are included in phytoremediation plants with their metal absorption which mechanism is phytostabilization.Keywords : Cordyline fruticosa, Phytoremediation, Cadmium, ICP-OESABSTRAKFitoremediasi tanah tercemar logam Kadmium (Cd) menggunakan tanaman hias merupakan salah satu metode yang aplikatif dan ramah lingkungan dalam proses penyerapan logam di dalam tanah.

Abstract:

Unhealthy agricultural activities possibly caused damage due to pollution from dangerous substances that accumulate as residues. Pesticides can be one of the factors causing soil pollution; one of the reasons is the presence of lead (Pb). This study aimed to elucidate the potential use of sunflower (Hellianthus annus Linn) for phytoremediation Pb contaminated soil. Phytoremediation optimization was upported by the addition of ameliorants in the form of BSF (black soldier fly) compost and biochar. The research was carried out in two stages; the first stage was the utilization of sunflower for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil. The second stage was the use of post-phytoremediation soil for planting mustard plants. The results showed that phytoremediation efficiency ranged from 45.74-67.17%, indicating that the sunflower plant was quite effective as Pb accumulator plant. The application of biochar and BSF compost was able to show a higher value than the control treatment to maximize the phytoremediation process. Mustard plants grown on soil that has been remediated showed better growth and biomass yields than that grown on soil that had not been subjected to phytoremediation.

Abstract:

The increasing number of contaminated sites worldwide calls for sustainable remediation, such as phytoremediation, in which plants are used to decontaminate soils. We hypothesized that better anchoring phytoremediation in plant ecophysiology has the potential to drastically improve its predictability. In this study, we explored how the community composition, diversity and coppicing of willow plantations, influenced phytoremediation services in a four-year field trial. We also evaluated how community-level plant functional traits might be used as predictors of phytoremediation services, which would be a promising avenue for plant selection in phytoremediation. We found no consistent impact of neither willow diversity nor coppicing on phytoremediation services directly. These services were rather explained by willow traits related to resource economics and management strategy along the plant “fast–slow” continuum. We also found greater belowground investments to promote plant bioconcentration and soil decontamination. These traits–services correlations were consistent for several trace elements investigated, suggesting high generalizability among contaminants. Overall, our study provides evidence, even using a short taxonomic (and thus functional) plant gradient, that traits can be used as predictors for phytoremediation efficiency for a broad variety of contaminants. This suggests that a trait-based approach has great potential to develop predictive plant selection strategies in phytoremediation trials, through a better rooting of applied sciences in fundamental plant ecophysiology.

Abstract:

It is noteworthy that ammoniacal nitrogen contamination in wastewater has reportedly posed a great threat to the environment. Although there are several conventional technologies being employed to remediate ammoniacal nitrogen contamination in wastewater, they are not sustainable and cost-effective. Along this line, the present study aims to highlight the significance of green chemistry characteristics of phytoremediation in nitrogen for wastewater treatment. Notably, ammoniacal nitrogen can be found in many types of sources and it brings harmful effects to the environment. Hence, the present study also reviews the phytoremediation of nitrogen and describes its green chemistry characteristics. Additionally, the different types of wastewater contaminants and their effects on phytoremediation and the phytoremediation consideration in wastewater treatment application and sustainable waste management of harvested aquatic macrophytes were reviewed. Finally, the present study explicates the future perspectives of phytoremediation. Based on the reviews, it can be concluded that green chemistry characteristics of phytoremediation in nitrogen have proved that it is sustainable and cost-effective in relation to other existing ammoniacal nitrogen remediation technologies. Therefore, it can be deduced that a cheaper and more environmental friendly ammoniacal nitrogen technology can be achieved with the utilization of phytoremediation in wastewater treatment.

Abstract:

Bioremediation is a new green economic approach in providing solutions for cleaning up contaminated sites. Phytoremediation uses plants as a tool for remediation purposes. The usage of plant species offers higher potential solution to remediate heavy metal contaminated sites. This study aimed on screening potential plant species for phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated water. The potential of three aquatic macrophytes species (Eichorrnia crassipes, Pistia stratiotes and Ipomoea aquatica) for chromium and nickel phytoremediations was tested. The plants were exposed for 10 days under hydroponic conditions in heavy metal contaminated water. E. crassipes showed the highest chromium and nickel concentrations in its biomass, 1.60 and 2.40 Î¼g/L respectively. Meanwhile, P. stratiotes had chromium and nickel concentrations detected at 0.89 and 0.081 Î¼g/L, respectively; chromium and nickel concentrations of I. aquatica detected were, 0.49 and 0.08 Î¼g/L, respectively. The ability of these plants to accumulate heavy metals and survived throughout the experiment demonstrates the potential of these plants to remediate metal-enriched water. Among the three tested aquatic plants, E. crassipes was proven to be the most suitable plant species that can phytoremediate heavy metal contaminated water followed by P. stratiotes and I. aquatica.

Abstract:

Heavy-metal (HM) pollution is considered a leading source of environmental contamination. Heavy-metal pollution in ground water poses a serious threat to human health and the aquatic ecosystem. Conventional treatment technologies to remove the pollutants from wastewater are usually costly, time-consuming, environmentally destructive, and mostly inefficient. Phytoremediation is a cost-effective green emerging technology with long-lasting applicability. The selection of plant species is the most significant aspect for successful phytoremediation. Aquatic plants hold steep efficiency for the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) and Duck weed (Lemna minor) along with some other aquatic plants are prominent metal accumulator plants for the remediation of heavy-metal polluted water. The phytoremediation potential of the aquatic plant can be further enhanced by the application of innovative approaches in phytoremediation. A summarizing review regarding the use of aquatic plants in phytoremediation is gathered in order to present the broad applicability of phytoremediation.
