MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411095479 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 04, 2024, for Advanced Root-Zone Bioreactor Design For Maximized Heavy Metal Phytoremediation Efficiency.
Inventors include Prasann Kumar; Mastu Patel; and Polu Picheswara Rao.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The Advanced Root-Zone Bioreactor Design for Maximized Heavy Metal Phytoremediation Efficiency is a cutting-edge system that enhances the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils. It integrates modular bioreactor units with tailored plant growth conditions, including aerated soil media, microbial inoculation, and automated nutrient delivery. The system optimizes root-zone conditions to increase heavy metal uptake by hyperaccumulator plants while improving soil health through enhanced microbial activity. Real-time monitoring sensors track critical parameters like pH, heavy metal concentrations, and moisture, feeding data into a central control system for adaptive adjustments. This innovative approach accelerates phytoremediation, reduces environmental impact, and offers scalable solutions for various contamination scenarios in urban, agricultural, and industrial environments.
