Arsenic, either in (III) or (V) oxidation states forms, is a hazardous elements to humans, thus its removal from aqueous environments is of the utmost priority in the countries where this problem arises. From the various separation technologies, the removal f arsenic via biosorption processing attracted an interest, because besides the removal of the element, allows the recycle materials that in many cases are considered as wastes. The present chapter reviewed the most recent proposals (2022 year) about the use of biosorbents in the removal of this toxic element.

“…Lemna valdiviana, an American minute flowering plant, exhibits promising arsenicbioaccumulating characteristics and can extract up to 82% of arsenic from contaminated water (Souza et al, 2019). Bixa orellana, used as an accumulator of the As(III) of Cr(VI), can accumulate 82.8% of Cr(VI) and 40.4% of As(III) of the initial amount of 3 and 6 ppm, respectively (Kumar et al, 2022b).

Phytoremediation technologies and their mechanism for removal of heavy metal from contaminated soil: An approach for a sustainable environment

The contamination of soils with heavy metals and its associated hazardous effects are a thrust area of today’s research. Rapid industrialization, emissions from automobiles, agricultural inputs, improper disposal of waste, etc., are the major causes of soil contamination with heavy metals. These contaminants not only contaminate soil but also groundwater, reducing agricultural land and hence food quality. These contaminants enter the food chain and have a severe effect on human health. It is important to remove these contaminants from the soil. Various economic and ecological strategies are required to restore the soils contaminated with heavy metals. Phytoremediation is an emerging technology that is non-invasive, cost-effective, and aesthetically pleasing. Many metal-binding proteins (MBPs) of the plants are significantly involved in the phytoremediation of heavy metals; the MBPs include metallothioneins; phytochelatins; metalloenzymes; metal-activated enzymes; and many metal storage proteins, carrier proteins, and channel proteins. Plants are genetically modified to enhance their phytoremediation capacity. In Arabidopsis, the expression of the mercuric ion-binding protein in Bacillus megaterium improves the metal accumulation capacity. The phytoremediation efficiency of plants is also enhanced when assisted with microorganisms, biochar, and/or chemicals. Removing heavy metals from agricultural land without challenging food security is almost impossible. As a result, crop selections with the ability to sequester heavy metals and provide food security are in high demand. This paper summarizes the role of plant proteins and plant–microbe interaction in remediating soils contaminated with heavy metals. Biotechnological approaches or genetic engineering can also be used to tackle the problem of heavy metal contamination.

“…Bixa orellana and Zea mays L. are exciting examples of plants with high phytoremediation potential for heavy metals, particularly chromium and lead. It is also noteworthy that adding chelating agents, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), can enhance the phytoextraction process by increasing the solubility and availability of heavy metals in soil [ 78 ]. A study on lettuce species and their ability to accumulate copper is also valuable in identifying plant species that can effectively remove specific heavy metals from contaminated soils [ 79 ].…”

Pollution from heavy metals is one of the significant environmental concerns facing the world today. Human activities, such as mining, farming, and manufacturing plant operations, can allow them access to the environment. Heavy metals polluting soil can harm crops, change the food chain, and endanger human health. Thus, the overarching goal for humans and the environment should be the avoidance of soil contamination by heavy metals. Heavy metals persistently present in the soil can be absorbed by plant tissues, enter the biosphere, and accumulate in the trophic levels of the food chain. The removal of heavy metals from contaminated soil can be accomplished using various physical, synthetic, and natural remediation techniques (both in situ and ex situ). The most controllable (affordable and eco-friendly) method among these is phytoremediation. The removal of heavy metal defilements can be accomplished using phytoremediation techniques, including phytoextraction, phytovolatilization, phytostabilization, and phytofiltration. The bioavailability of heavy metals in soil and the biomass of plants are the two main factors affecting how effectively phytoremediation works. The focus in phytoremediation and phytomining is on new metal hyperaccumulators with high efficiency. Subsequently, this study comprehensively examines different frameworks and biotechnological techniques available for eliminating heavy metals according to environmental guidelines, underscoring the difficulties and limitations of phytoremediation and its potential application in the clean-up of other harmful pollutants. Additionally, we share in-depth experience of safe removing the plants used in phytoremediation—a factor frequently overlooked when choosing plants to remove heavy metals in contaminated conditions.
