MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511005141 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on January 22, 2025, for Soil-To-Air Phytoremediation System With Enriched Phytoextraction Mechanisms For Heavy Metal Detoxification.
Inventors include Prasann Kumar; and Mastu Patel.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The Soil-to-Air Phytoremediation System is an innovative environmental solution designed to address heavy metal contamination in soil and improve air quality. It utilizes hyperaccumulator plants, enhanced by transgenic modifications, to absorb and accumulate heavy metals from contaminated soils. The system integrates enriched soil amendments and a root-zone bioreactor to optimize plant growth and microbial activity, enhancing metal uptake. Additionally, the plants' foliage captures airborne pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter, contributing to air purification. Real-time monitoring sensors track soil and air quality parameters, enabling adaptive management for optimal remediation. This dual-action system offers a sustainable, cost-effective, and scalable approach to mitigating both soil and air pollution while promoting ecosystem health.
