What are the Mechanisms of Catalytic Phytoremediation?
The mechanisms by which catalysis enhances phytoremediation include:
Redox Reactions: Catalysts can facilitate oxidation and reduction reactions, which help in the breakdown of pollutants. Enzyme Activation: Catalysts can activate enzymes that degrade contaminants, making the process faster and more efficient. Photodegradation: Photocatalysts can use light energy to break down pollutants into less harmful substances.
