Phytoremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons: an update of its recent progress

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The study found that when biochar was applied to soil planted with wheat, maize, and ryegrass (Fabaceae family), and when compost was used to amend soil planted with 111 white clover and alfalfa (Poaceae family), plant growth and TPH removal were enhanced. Duckweed (Lemna paucicostata) has been observed to accumulate less than 1% and biodegraded 97.74% of hydrocarbons in wetlands at the end of a study aiming to investigate their ability to remove pollutants from an aquatic environment over 120 days . This study demonstrated that bacterial bioaugmentation can enhance phytoremediation efficiency, though the specific bacterial . . .
