Role of Hyperaccumulators in Phytoextraction of Metals From Contaminated Mining Sites: A Review
Abstract
Accumulation of heavy metals in selective locations of the environment has been attracting considerable public attention over the last decades. The conventional clean-up technologies to extract and remove heavy metals from mining sites are either inadequate or too expensive for developing countries. In the past decades, research efforts have been directed toward phytoextraction by using hyperaccumulators as an alternative, low-cost means of extracting heavy metals from the metal contaminated mining sites. Hyperaccumulating plants are used to transport and concentrate metals from soil into the harvestable parts of plants such as roots and aboveground shoots. Such harvestable biomass is ashed so that the ash can be disposed or even better recycled in metal processing industry for biorecovery of precious and semiprecious metals. This is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, aesthetically pleasing approach most suitable for developing countries. The authors report the characteristics and mechanisms of hyperaccumulation in metal extraction and also classify the types of hyperaccumulation on the basis of bioavailability of metal to the plant. They also give insight into the role of genetic engineering for enhancing the efficiency of hyperaccumulation in metal extraction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
