ANALYSIS OF SOIL BIOREMEDIATION METHODS

Abstract

The theses consider modern methods of soil bioremediation aimed at cleaning contaminated areas using biological agents. The principles of action, advantages and features of the application of various types of bioremediation are analyzed, including natural self-cleaning, microbial bioremediation (in situ and in vitro biostimulation, bioaugmentation, use of biological products), phytoremediation (phytostabilization, phytoaccumulation, phytostimulation, phytotransformation, rhizofiltration), ex situ bioremediation (treatment in mounds, composting, bioloosening, bioreactors) and mycoremediation. Special attention is paid to the comparative analysis of bioaugmentation and biostimulation as effective and environmentally safe methods of restoring contaminated soils. The requirements for phytoremediant plants and the mechanisms of action of various phytoremediation methods are described. Technological aspects and areas of application of ex situ bioremediation methods and the potential of using fungi in mycoremediation for the degradation of various pollutants are considered.
