Book excerpt: Phytoremediation is an emerging cleanup technology for contaminated soils, groundwater, and wastewater that is both low-tech and low-cost. The cleanup technology is defined as the use of green plants to remove, contain, or render harmless such environmental contaminants as heavy metals, trace elements, organic compounds and radioactive compounds in soil or water. Phytoremediation takes advantage of the unique and selective uptake capabilities of plant root systems together with the translocation, bioaccumulation, and contaminant storage/degradation abilities of the entire plant. In the present study Hydrilla verticillata, Pistia stratiotes and Lemna minor aquatic plants are used as phytoremediation treatment of the physico chemical characteristics of effluent.

Book excerpt: Contamination of the different components of environment through industrial and anthropogenic activities have guided new eras of research. This has lead to development of strategies/methodologies to curtail/minimize environmental contamination. Research studies conducted all over the globe established that bioremediation play a promising role in minimizing environmental contamination. In the last decade, phytoremediation studies have been conducted on a vast scale. Initial research in this scenario focused on screening terrestrial plant species that remove contaminants from soil and air. Later, scientific community realized that water is a basic necessity for sustaining life on earth and quality of which is getting deteriorated day by day. This initiated studies on phytoremediation using aquatic plants. Role of aquatic plant species in cleaning water bodies was also explored. Many of the aquatic plant species showed potential to treat domestic, municipal and industrial wastewaters and hence their use in constructed wetlands for treating wastewaters was emphasized. The present book contains five chapters. First two chapters provide information about types of contaminants commonly reported in wastewaters and enlists some important and well studied aquatic plant species known for their potential to remove various contaminants from wastewater. Subsequent chapters deal with mechanisms involved in contaminant removal by aquatic plant species, and also provide detailed information about role of aquatic plant species in wetlands. Potential of constructed wetlands in cleaning domestic and industrial wastewaters has also been discussed in detail. The strategy for enhancing phytoremediation capacity of plants by different means and effectiveness of phytoremediation technology in terms of monitory benefits has been discussed in last chapter. Last chapter also emphasizes the future aspects of this technology.

This book was released on with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water and land are precious natural resources for the agricultural activities, which are prerequisite for any civilization. Rapid industrialization and urbanization exploit and severely pollute these resources. The organic and inorganic pollutants generate an unfavourable environment for the survival of aquatic flora and fauna by affecting the aquatic ecosystems. The increasing urbanization, industrial revolution, advancement of technologies, etc. are the reasons for increased pollution level. Smoke and dust particles pollute the air, solid waste pollutes the land, and in the same way industrial discharge, municipal sewage, and domestic wastewater pollute the water resources (streams, lakes, oceans, groundwater). Heavy metals naturally occur within the earth’s crust but presently due to several manmade activities, they pool-up at certain places and hamper the natural constitution and function of natural resources they invade. The natural sources of heavy metal intrusion are weathering of minerals, volcanic eruptions, overexploitation of underground resources, etc., which cause heavy metals of underlying rocks to leach into the groundwater, whereas man-made sources are smelting, mining, industries, sludge selling, agricultural use of serious metals in fertilizers and pesticides and many more. Some of the heavy metals like Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, and Chromium are one of the culprits for global warming and destroying the atmospheric ozone with atmospheric methane, nitrous oxide and sulphur dioxide. Environmental contamination by heavy metals is a serious problem throughout the world. The addition of toxic heavy metals in the ecosystem may lead to its bioaccumulation, geo-accumulation, and biomagnification. The heavy metals can be removed by using some common conventional treatment processes. Physicochemical removal processes such as adsorption, ion exchange, membrane filtration, reverse osmosis etc. are used to remove heavy metals. Biological treatments using microorganisms include methods such as activated sludge, trickling filters, stabilization ponds etc. Biosorption and phytoremediation are promising, low cost, eco-friendly best solution for removal of heavy metals. The phytoremediation applications can be classified based on contaminant fate: degradation, extraction, containment or combination of these. Phytoremediation applications can be classified based on mechanisms involved. Such mechanisms include extraction of contaminant from soil or groundwater; concentration of contaminants in plant tissue, degradation of contaminants by various biotic and abiotic processes; volatilization or transpiration of volatile contaminants from plants into air, immobilization of contaminants in root zone etc. The present book Phytoremediation of Heavy Metals from Industrial Effluent by Aquatic Plants focuses on preliminary screening of aquatic macrophytes having phytoremediation potential, selection of two specific hyperaccumulator species for phytoremediation, screening of heavy metals accumulation potential and biochemical constituents of selected plant species involving heavy metal treatment, assessing heavy metal accumulation potential, physio-chemical and phytochemical parameters with a treatment of electroplating industry effluent, measuring the phytoremediation efficiency of two selected plant species by in situ experiments, assessing the physico-chemical characteristics of contaminated water treated with two selected plant species, and heavy metal accumulation in biomass by both the species. The book would be a ready reference guide for pollution control board authorities, industry managers, and remediation specialists, to prevent the further degradation and deterioration of contaminated sites using remediator plant species for retaining inviolability for pliant sustainability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, soil and water pollution by pesticides is a serious problem worldwide. Compared with conventionally expensive, invasive, and sometimes ineffective techniques for pentachlorophenol (PCP) dealing, such as excavation, dredging and some chemical methods, in situ treatment strategies are more effective at reducing risk and decreasing expenditures on management. Among the in situ treatments, bioremediation (microbial remediation and phytoremediation) is thought to be capable in permanent pollutants elimination at low cost. Therefore, phytoremediation has received more attention in the last decade. Phytoremediation is applicable owing to its esthetic value, environment friendly, manipulation in situ and economic benefit. However, the previous phytoremediation studies mostly focused on the use of terrestrial plants and remediation of heavy metals. Sediments in aquatic environment are regarded as ultimate sink of organic contaminants, but little information is available on the possibility of use of aquatic macrophytes for remediation of organic toxicants in aquatic environment. It is, therefore, necessary to develop phytoremediation method of PCP by using aquatic macrophytes.
