The phytodegradation of organic compounds can take place inside the plant or within the rhizosphere of the plant. Many different compounds and classes of compounds can be removed from the environment by this method, including solvents in groundwater, petroleum and aromatic compounds in soils, and volatile compounds in the air. Although still a relatively new area of research, there are many lab...

This study explores ibuprofen (IBP) uptake and transformation in the wetland plant species Phragmites australis and the underlying mechanisms. We grew P. australis in perlite under greenhouse conditions and treated plants with 60 μg/L of IBP. Roots and rhizomes (RR), stems and leaves (SL), and liquid samples were collected during 21 days of exposure. Results show that P. australis can take up, ...

Many organic hazardous pollutants such as bisphenolA (BPA) which are toxic and not easily biodegradable can concerns for environmental pollution worldwide. The objective of this study was to examine whether Azolla Filiculoides is able to remove BPA from aqueous solutions. In this study, the Azolla with different biomass (0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 g) has been cultured in solution that was contained 5, ...

Petroleum exploitation in oilfields, especially drilling, generates an oily sludge mixed with hydrocarbons and mineral solids. This oily sludge is sometimes treated by bioremediation and phytoremediation. This investigation established that landfarmed oil sludge provided adequate soil conditions to grow jack beans (Canavalia ensiformis) that in turn rhizoand phytoremediated residual aliphatic a...

The wastewater treatment and its purification has been one of the key areas focused research along with a critical demand keeping in view current status water table depletion pollution. to be recycled for usage poses practical solution which can achieved through phytoremediation techniques. utilization phytoactive plants remove organic pollutants from using phytodegradation phytoextraction appr...

Ammonium and potassium perchlorate are strong oxidants widely employed in the pyrotechnic compositions in fireworks. Although its reduction is thermodynamically highly favorable, the perchlorate anion’s reactivity is kinetically inhibited, primarily attributable to steric hindrance of access to the central chlorine atom within the tetrahedral ClO4 structure. This relative inactivity has histori...
