An attempt to electrically enhance phytoremediation of arsenic contaminated water

Future perspectives and mitigation strategies towards groundwater arsenic contamination in West Bengal, India

“…To remove arsenic from pumped groundwater, the ATUs follow chemical principles of ion exchange and membrane‐based processes (Dominguez‐Ramos et al., 2014; USEPA, 2003), oxidation (Bajpai & Chaudhuri, 1999; Katsoyiannis et al., 2008), coagulation (Jekel & Seith, 2000; Kobya et al., 2020; Kumar et al., 2004; Pokhrel et al., 2005), adsorption (Kango & Kumar, 2016; Lunge et al., 2014; Nikolaidis et al., 2003; Uddin & Jeong, 2020), etc., followed by filtration. Few advanced methods consist of phytoremediation (Kubiak et al., 2012) and bioremediation (Dadwal & Mishra, 2017; Gogoi et al., 2017; Katsoyiannis & Zouboulis, 2004; Kumari et al., 2019; Maity et al., 2021; Rahman et al., 2014; Tsai et al., 2009) of the arsenic‐contaminated water. The water treatment media in these units comprise minerals of iron and aluminum for their high sorption and co‐precipitation affinity towards arsenic (Abass et al., 2016; Bora et al., 2016; Guzmán et al., 2016; Habuda‐Stanić & Nujić, 2015; Kobya et al., 2020; Ordonez et al., 2020).…”

Integrated Remediation Processes Toward Heavy Metal Removal/Recovery From Various Environments-A Review

“…Electrokinetic coupled phytoremediation using species Lemna minor was tested by Kubiak et al (2012) to remediate toxic arsenic in water. For this test, artificial arsenic water was prepared using sodium arsenate at a concentration of 150 µg L −1 .…”

Electro-enhanced phytoremediation system on the removal of trace metal concentration from contaminated water

“…Recently, several applications of EP system in the laboratory scale have been reported on the removal of heavy metal (i.e. Cd, As, Cu, Pb) from contaminated water, and up-take by Lactuta sativa , Lemna minor, Eichornia crassipes , and Pistia stratiotes [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Additionally, this method had been evaluated under the actual conditions to predict the viability of EP system in the future on the remediation of industrial effluents [ 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”
