MUMBAI, India, July 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411095485 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 04, 2024, for Nano-Enhanced Plant Formulations For Optimized Uptake Of Heavy Metals In Contaminated Soils.
Inventors include Prasann Kumar; Mastu Patel; and Polu Picheswara Rao.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: The invention provides a nano-enhanced plant formulation designed to optimize the uptake of heavy metals in contaminated soils for phytoremediation. It combines metal-chelating nanoparticles, nutrient-enhancing particles, and root absorption promoters to increase the bioavailability of heavy metals, improve plant growth, and accelerate the remediation process. The formulation includes a slow-release matrix that ensures the gradual release of nanoparticles and nutrients, providing long-term effectiveness while minimizing environmental impact. It is tailored for hyperaccumulator plants and utilizes biodegradable materials to ensure environmental safety post-remediation. This innovative approach offers an efficient, scalable, and sustainable solution for addressing soil contamination and enhancing soil restoration through rapid, eco-friendly heavy metal uptake.
