Phytoremediation of Contaminated Soil

Abstract

This dissertation presents the status of phytoremediation technologies. Due to their immutable nature, metal are a group of pollutants of much concern. A result of human activities such as mining and smelting of metalliferous ores, gas exhaust, electroplating energy and fuel production, fertilizer and pesticide application, etc. The heavy metal pollution has become one of the most genuine natural issues today. Phytoremediation is an emerging cost effective, non-intrusive and aesthetically pleasing technology that uses remarkable ability to plant concentrate element and compounds from environment. Within the field of phytoremediation, the utilization of plants to transport and concentrate metals from contaminated soil in to the harvestable part of roots and above ground shoots. Plant roots, shoots and soil sample were collected and analyzed for selected metal concentration values. To evaluate the potential of plant species for phytoremediation. The result of this study can be used for management and decontamination of soil with heavy metals using plant species having phytoremediation potential/characteristics. The collection of sample in contaminated area (surajpur, Ghaziabad, Hindan River and kasna). In this study the find out of heavy metals on AAS instruments. The plants are growth time to time and decrease the heavy metals. Red Cabbage and Sunflower is the fast accumulate heavy metals concentration in compare to the other plants. When use of chelating agent the uptake mechanisms is fast.
