Development of Phytoremediation Technology For Arsenic Removal-A State of Art

Abstract

Toxic heavy metals and metalloids, like lead, mercury, arsenic, and selenium, are perpetually free into the surroundings atmosphere. There is a vital need to develop low-priced, effective, and supportable technique for removal or detoxification. Plant primarily based approaches, like phytore mediation, are unit comparatively cheap since they are performed in place and are solar-driven. Now this review, Specific advances in plant-based approaches for the remediation of contaminated water and soil. Phytoremediation is an alternate technology to remove of heavy metals in polluted soil. Wild plants were chosen for arsenic removal experiment. Removal of arsenic by conventional method is very costly; this paper focuses the review on method of phyto remediation to remove arsenic from soil. This method is being aesthetically pleasing and is on average tenfold cheaper than other physical, chemical or thermal remediation methods. This paper attempted to provide a brief review on recent progresses in research and practical applications of phytoremediation for soil and water resources.
