Define the following and explain how it is associated in the process bioremediation. Give an example of how each is used to break down hazardous wastes.
- Phytoremediation: the use of plants for the removal of contaminants and metals from the soil and water, or to render them harmless. Basically the decontamination or stabilization of the polluted area using plants. It was used in the Chernobyl Sunflower Project in 1994.
- Phytostabilization: the transformation of one species toxic molecule into less toxic species or reduction of mobility. Lolium perenne in the soil from the Iron treatment plants produced vegetative cover without the loss of the metal.
- Phytodegradation: the uptake and degradation of the organic compounds by the plants. The algal phytodegradation of a model naphthenic acid and an oilsands mixture of naphthenic acids were evaluated in support of studies to remediate recalcitrant NAs in soils and water.
- Phytoextraction: The removal of contaminants and metals from the soil and their storage in plants. Also known as phytoaccumulation. Chelate assists phytoextraction of heavy metals from soil. Chelate based has often been described as a promising technique to remediate heavy metal from contaminated agricultural land.
