Abstract

This study addresses the challenges of managing chromium-contaminated sites by systematically examining phytoremediation technology and its associated full-cycle management system. Our findings indicate that chromium pollution primarily originates from industries such as electroplating and chromate production. The hexavalent form of chromium is particularly concerning due to its high mobility and toxicity, posing a significant threat to both ecological systems and human health. While phytoremediation is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach, it still faces limitations, including lengthy remediation timeframes, limited adaptability, and the potential for secondary pollution. To overcome these hurdles, this study develops a comprehensive set of key management strategies. These strategies cover the pre-remediation, during-remediation, and post-remediation phases and include steps such as plant selection, water management, emergency risk response, and remediation effectiveness evaluation. The proposed framework aims to enhance the practical applicability of phytoremediation technology and facilitate its transition from laboratory research to full-scale engineering applications, thereby providing a systematic solution for the green and sustainable remediation of chromium-contaminated sites.
