Bioremediation

Bioremediation is a process that uses only plants to return the polluted environment to its original state.

Bioremediation relies on stimulating the growth of certain microbes that use contaminants like oil and pesticides as a source of nutrients and energy.

The principle of bioremediation is that microorganisms can only be used to contain hazardous contaminants.

Effective bioremediation requires a combination of the right factors such as temperature and nutrients.

The stages of biodegradation include isolation of the microorganism, purification of the obtained isolates, and determination of the biodegradation efficiency.

Bioremediation is a completely natural process with almost no harmful side effects

Bioremediation can be carried out in situ for most applications with no dangerous transport

The rate of biodegradation generally increases with the decreasing temperature

Bioremediation is not cost effective compared to incineration and landfilling
