Abstract
Rhizoremediation is a natural biological base, multifactorial operation treatment method which highly depends to environmental factors especially in terrestrial environment as operation of remediation process. Interaction and relationship between microbial community and plant roots is specific attraction and advantages of this advanced treatment method. Decontamination efficiency and time could be highly manageable by operation and rhizoaugmentation. Rhizoremediation is advanced compact combination of phytoextraction, phytovolatilization, phytotransformation and phytostabilization. High efficiency of pollutants removal, adaptive and wide range of operation and augmentation factors cause of emerging application of this for biodegradable organic compounds and heavy metals. Selection of suitable plant and joining them with comfortable microbial couples is a function which can plane simultaneously removal system. This chapter will present an overview on PAH, TPH, PCB and heavy metal removal and mechanism of decontamination, plant selection and augmentation process.
