MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511010278 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on February 07, 2025, for Bioremediation Of Coal Mining Sites With Humified Organics And Beneficial Bacteria.
Inventors include Prasann Kumar; and Polu Picheswara Rao.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The invention provides a bioremediation method for restoring coal mining sites by combining humified organic substances and plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Humified organics, including humic and fulvic acids, biochar, and composted agricultural waste, are applied to improve soil structure, enhance water retention, and sequester heavy metals, reducing their bioavailability. PGPB strains such as Pseudomonas, Bacillus, and Rhizobium are introduced to promote plant growth, facilitate nutrient uptake, and mitigate heavy metal toxicity. This approach offers an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution for soil restoration, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem that reduces the need for ongoing interventions while restoring fertility and promoting biodiversity in mining-impacted areas. The method is scalable and adaptable for various coal mining regions worldwide. Dated this …….Day of November, 2024 Dr. Monica Gulati Registrar Lovely Professional University
