Calculations conducted by the institute, using phytoremediation techniques (the use of plants to extract harmful substances), indicate that natural recovery may take over three centuries. Read ...

Not only is phytoremediation more environmentally friendly than conventional methods, it is cheaper too. It involves using photosynthesising organisms to remove pollutants – for example, heavy ...

Possible mechanisms and technological process of micro/nanoplastics phytoremediation. The plastics absorbed and intercepted by plants can be recycled through different processes for incineration ...

Duim Ferreira, who is on a research internship at North Carolina State University (NCSU) in the US, is focusing on techniques for growing T. domingensis to optimize its potential for phytoremediation.

We set out to uncover how to better make use of tropical plants to do phytoremediation and through advanced characterisation techniques, we showed how some of these tropical plant species can be ...

“We’ve done calculations using phytoremediation techniques to determine how long it would take to remediate these chemicals, and the results indicate over 300 years,” Dr. Mensa revealed ...
