How Does Catalysis Integrate with Phytoremediation?
Catalysis plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of phytoremediation. It involves the use of catalysts to accelerate the chemical reactions that break down harmful substances. In the context of phytoremediation, catalysts can be used to improve the degradation of contaminants within plant systems or in the rhizosphere—the soil region influenced by root secretions and associated soil microorganisms.
