Metallophytes in Mineral Mining

Metallophytes in Mineral Mining, 1st Edition, outlines plant-based techniques for extracting and farming metals from metal-rich soils through phytomining and agromining processes. Authored by Vimal Chandra Pandey, Dragana Ranđelović, Ksenija Jakovljević, and Ritu Chaturvedi, this publication establishes biological principles of element recovery for researchers, PhD students, and post-doc researchers.

The material focuses on internal plant mechanics and soil interactions that drive metal accumulation. Detailed chapters examine metal transporters in hyperaccumulator plants alongside microbe-assisted phytomining, explaining how physiological processes and microbial partners facilitate the gathering of target metals.

Furthermore, the text evaluates the operational differences between phytoremediation and phytomining, highlighting considerations for ecological and socio-economic sustainability. Comprising 234 pages, this English-language publication carries the print ISBN 9780443301100.
