    A form of phytoremediation that exploits the process in which plants absorb substances, particularly heavy metals, from the environment and store them in their tissues.

    • The success of phytoextraction depends on two components, the contaminated soil and the plant species.
    • Changes in the polarity of eletrodes during the process can avoid fixed redistribution of heavy metals and soil pH values that are associated with different rates of plant biomass and phytoextractions to the proximity to electrodes.
