What Types of Catalysts are Used in Phytoremediation?
There are several types of catalysts used in phytoremediation, including:
Enzymatic Catalysts: Enzymes produced by plants or associated microbes can accelerate the breakdown of organic pollutants. Metallic Catalysts: Metals like iron, manganese, and copper can facilitate redox reactions that degrade pollutants. Photocatalysts: Materials like titanium dioxide (TiO2) can harness light energy to drive the degradation of contaminants.
