Recent Advances in Phytoremediation of Hazardous Substances using Plants: A Tool for Soil Reclamation and Sustainability
This review provides a comprehensive analysis of phytoremediation techniques for soil reclamation and removal of hazardous contaminants from polluted sites, examining the current state of knowledge across different plant-based remediation approaches. The study evaluates the effectiveness of various phytoremediation strategies and identifies future research directions for improving soil sustainability.
A Review on Remediation Technology and the Remediation Evaluation of Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soils
This review surveys the main approaches to cleaning up heavy metal contamination in soils, including physical, chemical, biological, and combined methods, discussing the strengths and limitations of each. Researchers note that standards and evaluation methods for determining when soil has been adequately remediated are still not well established. The study calls for more scientific research into post-remediation assessment to ensure cleanup efforts are truly effective.
Remediation Strategies for Soil and Water
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.
Current Trends and Future Perspectives in the Remediation of Polluted Water, Soil and Air—A Review
This review surveys current and emerging remediation techniques for polluted water, soil, and air, including biological, chemical, and physical approaches. The study suggests that biological remediation methods are generally the most environmentally friendly, though the complexity of mixed pollutant compositions often requires combining multiple techniques for effective cleanup.
Persistant Organic Pollutants in Soil and Its Phytoremediation
This review covers persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in soil, including pesticides and industrial chemicals, and examines phytoremediation — using plants to clean contaminated soil — as a remediation strategy. Understanding how toxic chemicals persist in soil is relevant to understanding how plasticizers and other pollutants associated with microplastics behave in the environment.
Soil Contaminants and Their Removal through Surfactant-Enhanced Soil Remediation: A Comprehensive Review
This review evaluates the effectiveness of surfactants in enhancing the remediation of contaminated soils, examining both synthetic and bio-surfactant approaches. Researchers found that surfactants can improve the solubility and removal of hydrophobic pollutants from soil, though effectiveness depends on contaminant type, soil properties, and surfactant concentration. The study highlights both the promise and limitations of surfactant-enhanced remediation as a tool for cleaning up polluted land.
Innovative Solutions for Soil Remediation from Microplastics Pollution
This book chapter surveys innovative remediation approaches for removing microplastics from contaminated soils, covering physical, chemical, and biological methods as well as novel technologies including nanomaterial-based adsorbents and electrochemical systems.
A brief outlook on soil pollution and its control measures
This review examined soil pollution causes, consequences, and control measures, covering contamination from pesticides, herbicides, petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and other chemical sources from both human activities and natural processes. The review assessed impacts on plant productivity, soil quality, groundwater quality, and human health, along with remediation strategies.
The trend of bioremediation as an effective technology in soil decontamination
Not relevant to microplastics — this review covers bioremediation techniques using bacteria, fungi, and plants to clean up soil contaminated with hydrocarbons, pesticides, and heavy metals.
Decontamination of pollutants present in water, air, and soil through phytoremediation: a critical review
This critical review examines phytoremediation — the use of plants to remove contaminants from soil, water, and air — covering mechanisms such as phytoextraction, phytodegradation, and rhizofiltration, and assessing their effectiveness for heavy metals, organic pollutants, and microplastics.
Soil Microplastic Pollution and its Remediation: An Overview
This overview reviews the scope of microplastic pollution in soils globally, summarizing contamination sources, effects on soil ecosystems, and available remediation strategies including physical, chemical, and biological approaches to address this emerging environmental problem.
Imperfect but Hopeful: New Advances in Soil Pollution and Remediation
This review examines recent advances in understanding and remediating soil pollution, acknowledging that while progress has been made, current approaches remain imperfect and require continued innovation. Researchers synthesized findings across chemical, biological, and physical remediation strategies, highlighting promising developments alongside persistent limitations in treating complex contaminated soil environments.
Phytomanagement of Metal(loid)-Contaminated Soils: Options, Efficiency and Value
This review examines phytomanagement as a nature-based approach for recovering soils contaminated with metals and metalloids. Researchers found that using plants and associated microorganisms, combined with appropriate site management, can effectively restore soil ecological functions while providing economic value through biomass production. The study suggests that phytomanagement offers a sustainable alternative to conventional soil remediation techniques for large contaminated areas.
Soil Contamination, Risk Assessment, and Remediation
This review covers soil contamination from various sources including agrochemicals, waste materials, and emerging pollutants like microplastics, along with methods for risk assessment and remediation. Researchers examined how human activities such as farming, waste disposal, and industrial practices contribute to soil pollution and disrupt soil fertility. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive risk assessment frameworks that account for the complex interactions between traditional and emerging soil contaminants.
Research Progress of Soil Pollution and Its Remediation Technology
This review examines the combined soil pollution problem of heavy metals and microplastics in China, summarizing sources, ecological impacts, and remediation technologies including phytoremediation, bioremediation, and physicochemical approaches to restore contaminated agricultural land.
