Abstract

Les phytotechnologies appliquées à la gestion des sites contaminés regroupent l’ensemble des techniques utilisant des plantes, avec ou sans combinaison à des amendements, pour immobiliser, extraire ou dégrader les polluants du sol. Ces techniques peuvent être une alternative, pour des sites de grande ampleur, à la gestion par des techniques dites classiques (excavation, confinement, lavage…), en raison des volumes importants à traiter et des coûts associés. Cependant, ces technologies sont rarement utilisées dans les opérations de gestion de sites et sols pollués, par méconnaissance des possibilités offertes par les plantes. Ce guide présente trois techniques, la phytostabilisation, la phytoextraction et la phytorhizodédragation sous les aspects techniques, économiques et opérationnels, basés sur les retours d’expériences disponibles. Les phytotechnologies appliquées aux sites et sols pollués permet aux acteurs d’appréhender les projets utilisant les phytotechnologies dans leur globalité en détaillant les différents aspects à prendre en compte lors d’une opération de gestion d’un site par les plantes. Ce guide est à destination de tout maître d’ouvrage ou bureau d’étude qui souhaiterait utiliser ces phytotechnologies.

Abstract

Phytotechnologies: Remediation of Environmental Contaminants highlights the use of the natural-inherent traits of plants and associated bacteria and microbes to exclude, accumulate or metabolize toxic contaminants where they contribute significantly to the fate of chemical contaminants, and efficiently and sustainably decontaminate the biosphere from unwanted hazardous compounds. Written for students and researchers, it discusses recent breakthroughs in phytotechnologies, including genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, that relate to varied environmental contaminants. The book offers an evaluation of the known plant species for their different roles in phytotechnological applications in relation to remediation of varied environmental contaminants and also explores the potential plant species from important plant families for their significance in phytotechnologies. Most importantly, it examines the physiological, biochemical, and molecular-genetic mechanisms behind the natural traits of plants and associated microbes for the accumulation, hyperaccumulation, tolerance, and remediation of varied environmental contaminants. The book provides a one-stop source of cutting-edge answers and time-saving access to the best information on the phtotechnologies and their significance for the remediation of varied environmental contaminants thus, to decontaminate the biosphere for better future--

Abstract

Contamination of the different components of environment through industrial and anthropogenic activities have guided new eras of research. This has lead to development of strategies/methodologies to curtail/minimize environmental contamination. Research studies conducted all over the globe established that bioremediation play a promising role in minimizing environmental contamination. In the last decade, phytoremediation studies have been conducted on a vast scale. Initial research in this scenario focused on screening terrestrial plant species that remove contaminants from soil and air. Later, scientific community realized that water is a basic necessity for sustaining life on earth and quality of which is getting deteriorated day by day. This initiated studies on phytoremediation using aquatic plants. Role of aquatic plant species in cleaning water bodies was also explored. Many of the aquatic plant species showed potential to treat domestic, municipal and industrial wastewaters and hence their use in constructed wetlands for treating wastewaters was emphasized. The present book contains five chapters. First two chapters provide information about types of contaminants commonly reported in wastewaters and enlists some important and well studied aquatic plant species known for their potential to remove various contaminants from wastewater. Subsequent chapters deal with mechanisms involved in contaminant removal by aquatic plant species, and also provide detailed information about role of aquatic plant species in wetlands. Potential of constructed wetlands in cleaning domestic and industrial wastewaters has also been discussed in detail. The strategy for enhancing phytoremediation capacity of plants by different means and effectiveness of phytoremediation technology in terms of monitory benefits has been discussed in last chapter. Last chapter also emphasizes the future aspects of this technology.

Abstract

Phytoremediation is an emerging technology that employs higher plants for the clean-up of contaminated environments. Basic and applied research have unequivocally demonstrated that selected plant species possess the genetic potential to accumulate, degrade, metabolize and immobilize a wide range of contaminants. The main focus of this volume is on the recent advances of technologies using green plants for remediation of various metals and metalloids. Topics include biomonitoring of heavy metal pollution, amendments of higher uptake of toxic metals, transport of heavy metals in plants, and toxicity mechanisms. Further chapters discuss agro-technological methods for minimizing pollution while improving soil quality, transgenic approaches to heavy metal remediation and present protocols for metal remediation via in vitro root cultures.
