What is bioremediation?
-
Bioremediation is the technology that uses microorganism metabolism to remove pollutants.
-
It uses relatively low cost, low-technology techniques, which generally have a high public acceptance and can often be carried out on site.
-
Bioremediation is a natural process that involves the use of biological entities to neutralize the contaminated site.
This technology includes
-
Bio stimulation (stimulating viable native microbial population),
-
bioaugmentation (artificial introduction of viable population),
-
bioaccumulation (live cells),
-
biosorption (dead microbial biomass),
-
phytoremediation (plants) and
-
rhizoremediation (plant and microbe interaction
-
Bioventing
-
Bioleaching
