Abstract
Globally, the rapid development in industrialization and urbanization is the primary cause of the rising pollution problem. Because of population growth and agricultural reliance, the earth's finite natural freshwater resources will be under severe strain until 2030. The conservation of the environment necessitates a well-thought-out strategy for removing or mitigating the contaminants’ reversible and irreversible effects. The conventional technologies are energy-intensive, had high maintenance and operation costs, provided insufficient treatment, along with the production of ecologically toxic sludge/wastes. Phytoremediation technology has piqued the interest of many academics across the world as an environmentally friendly clean-up option with various advantages over traditional approaches. It can also be used to recover valuable metals and can be used for the production of renewable energy. This chapter will explore the application of integrating phytoremediation of aquatic pollution with energy and element recovery as well as other ecological services. The problems associated with the application of these technologies and future prospects are also comprehensively discussed.
