Phytoremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Polluted Waters Using Pistia Stratiotes: Gaps and Future Perspective

Abstract: Environmental pollution in the oil and gas industry is the unintended but inevitable consequences of oil and gas exploration and production. Over the years, different strategies have been implemented for the remediation of oil-polluted waters. The increasing call for the use of ecologically based solutions for remediation have intensified the quest for engineers, researchers and scientists to find pragmatic solutions from the natural world. Among the several biological application for the remediation of petrol… Show more

“…Oil fingerprinting to identify pollution sources was also recommended. Ekperusi et al (2018) reviewed the used water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) for the phytoremediation of petroleum polluted waters. Though the plant has been effectively used for phytoremediation over the years, it was opined that investigations have not been carried out to elucidate the effectiveness of the species in this regard.…”

“…Though problem finding is critical to research, developing of workable and novel solutions are also urgently needed in this area. Ekperusi et al (2018) This mini-review has essentially put into proper perspective that is recommended in this paper is for researchers to dig into more sophisticated technologies in developing innovative and cost-effective techniques of remediating polluted surface and ground waters in Nigeria. perspective the dearth of research interest in environmental sustainability and protection in the Nigerian context.…”
