Technology Background
Phytoremediation Definition
“The use of vascular plants… to either remove and control contaminants, or to spur contaminant breakdown by microorganisms in the rhizosphere.”
McCutcheon and Schnoor (2003)
![Page 8: Phytoremediation in the Solid Waste Industry Granle… · Phyto-Utilization Getting the Word Out National and State Conferences Global Waste Management Symposium Waste Expos – Dallas,](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042116/5e934e0ef491472ef74d8fcc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Technology Background
“Phyto-Utilization” Definition
The use of fast-growing (non-invasive), highly-tolerant plants to CONSUME industrial wastewater (leachate) to greatly reduce or eliminate the need for other disposal methods in a GREEN and sustainable way.

Rhizodegradation = Microbes present in rhizosphere (root zone) mineralize contaminants. Root secretions (called Exudates) enhance process.
Rhizofiltration = Contaminants are absorbed to plant roots as water flows through rhizosphere. Root secretions aid process.
Phytosequestration = Contaminants are sequestered on the plant roots in the rhizosphere. Aided by plant exudates and proteins.
