Phytoremediation technology is a modern natural approach to industrial wastewater treatment. This technology uses plants as decontamination agents. The decontamination process is one of the biological treatments for hydrocarbon-contaminated water. The biological method highlights green technology that is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Therefore, the writing of this book covers the biological processes involved in phytoremediation including the mechanism of phytoremediation as well as the role of bacteria around the plant root area in the decontamination process. In addition, the phytoremediation capabilities involving pilot constructed wetlands, as discussed, can be a model to the industry on the capabilities of phytoremediation processes to be applied in the field to treat hydrocarbon-contaminated wastewater.
