Remediation Strategies for Soil and Water
Summary
This book chapter reviewed remediation techniques for contaminated soil and water, covering adsorption, membrane separation, advanced oxidation, ion exchange, electrochemical treatment, microbial degradation, and phytoremediation. The authors addressed effectiveness for heavy metals, PAHs, antibiotics, and microplastics across these platforms.
With the rapid development of industries worldwide, soil and water pollution have accelerated in recent decades. The pollutants, including heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, antibiotics, and microplastics, in soil and water pose severe environmental problems, presenting serious risks to human health and the ecological system. Approximately 4 billion people, representing around half of the world's population, experience severe physical water scarcity for at least part of the year. Hence, several techniques have been developed for the remediation of contaminated soil and water, including adsorption, membrane separation, advanced oxidation, ion exchange, electrochemical treatment, microbial degradation, and phytoremediation. Considering the ongoing issue of pollution and emerging pollutants, remediation strategies for soil and water should be further optimized to focus on developing functional materials, improving remediation efficiency, and enhancing integrated remediation processes. This Reprint, entitled "Remediation Strategies for Soil and Water," features six research articles and three review papers, each addressing critical aspects of remediation processes for soil and water.

Bioremediation Techniques for Water and Soil Pollution: Review
This review covers bioremediation techniques that use microorganisms to break down pollutants in water and soil, including microplastics, heavy metals, and pharmaceutical residues. Researchers highlight how bacteria, fungi, and algae can be harnessed to degrade plastic waste and other contaminants through natural biological processes. The study suggests that bioremediation offers a promising, environmentally friendly approach to tackling pollution, though more research is needed to optimize these techniques for real-world application.
