| Phytoremediation is a sustainable, natural, low-cost, and environmentally friendly method for removing heavy metals from soil. Heavy metal pollution, due to the high stability of these metals in the environment, poses a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems. Extensive research has been conducted on various methods for cleaning the environment of heavy metals. Among these, biosorption has emerged as a more effective approach compared to physicochemical methods such as ion exchange, reverse osmosis, and chemical precipitation. Biosorption offers advantages including cost-effectiveness, high relative efficiency, metal recovery capabilities, and minimal sludge production. Microorganisms are particularly well-suited for the biosorption process due to their ability to stabilize metal ions, adapt to natural environments, and remain inexpensive. Bacteria, in particular, are effective biosorbents due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and active adsorption surfaces. In recent years, leveraging the ability of microorganisms to remove metals from contaminated effluents has been proposed as an optimal solution. The mechanisms and methods of metal adsorption can vary significantly among different microorganisms. |
