- Description
- Tanning Industry is an agro-based sector; research has related tanning and finishing as one of the leading industries causing soil and water pollution. The untreated effluent by the tanneries is most hazardous which is characterized by strong odors, water and soil contamination. It is considered to be a critical problem in India and around the globe. Among heavy metal from the waste, chromium has an essential part in contaminating soil and groundwater by tanning industry. As we are aware that researches have made it clear that plant-based remediation (Phytoremediation) is a growing biotechnological process, for cleaning metal contaminated soil, it is a cost-effective and easy technique to remediate the contaminated soil. Still, research is lacking in speeding up the remediation process for better and rapid results. Hence, this study is a review on Phytoremediation of Tanneries especially on Chromium metal contaminated soil utilizing distinctive plant which highlights and discusses various amendments like physical, chemical and agronomic for enhancing the efficiency of the remediation process.
