Modeling Phytoremediation of Heavy Metal Contaminated Mine Spoil Dumps
National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur
Barren Manganese Mine Spoil Dump
After 10 years - Revegetated Manganese Mine Spoil Dump
– Long duration of time for cleanup– Potential contamination of fodder crop and food chain
– Other treatments are not cost effective– Very large sites– Low concentration of contaminants– Only polishing treatment is required– Where vegetation is used as final cap / site closure
Applicability
Why Phytoremediation Model Software ?
• Design of experiments to determine the parameters of sub-surface phenomenon.
• Preparation of irrigation schedule for plantation on mine spoil dump.
• Decision on harvesting time of plants.
• Estimation of amount of heavy metal present in the plant.
