MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411095453 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 04, 2024, for Electrochemical System For Real-Time Detection And Removal Of Heavy Metals In Drinking Water.
Inventors include Prasann Kumar; Mastu Patel; and Polu Picheswara Rao.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The invention provides a soil remediation method for treating heavy metal pollutants by classifying contaminated soil into three categories: heavily, moderately, and lightly contaminated. For heavily contaminated soil, the method includes chemical leaching, earthworm-assisted remediation, and phytoremediation. Moderately contaminated soil is treated with earthworm-assisted remediation and phytoremediation, while lightly contaminated soil is remediated using only phytoremediation. This approach utilizes in-situ bioremediation to effectively reduce heavy metal concentrations without causing secondary pollution. The method offers a tailored, environmentally safe solution for different levels of contamination, enhancing the effectiveness of soil restoration across varied environments.
