Abstract: Phytomediation is an environmentally friendly green rehabilitation technology that is often incorporated with an application to improve calcium peroxide and phytohormones required for the growth of agricultural plants with the expectation to improve the effectiveness of plant rehabilitation. This study mainly consists of two parts: (1) water culture experiment and (2) pot culture experiment. In the water culture experiment, we attempt to understand the influence of the addition of calcium peroxide, phytohormones (IAA and GA3) and a chelating agent on the growth of sunflower plants. From the growth, we are then able to know the effectiveness of the addition of phytohormones. However, in the pot culture experiment, when hormones and the chelating agent EDTA are introduced to different plant groups at the same time, if the nutrition in the water required by plants is not available, the addition of the hormone cannot negate the toxicity caused by EDTA. In terms of calcium peroxide, due to

Abstract: Alum sludge is the by-product resulted from the process in generation when aluminium sulphates are used to promote coagulation in the production of clean drinking water. Excessive of alum sludge is regarded as a waste product and disposed to the landfill can associated financial and environmental cost. This project primarily aimed for potential utilization of alum sludge as soil improver. Turmeric has been chosen as the sample plant to this project. The scope of the project involved the experiment of raw alum sludge and used alum sludge (alum that contain phosphate and nitrate) as a soil improvement by using simple lab scale and equipment to carry out the result of turmeric growth rate. The turmeric growth rate was determined by a few parameters by using different portion of raw alum sludge and used alum sludge. The effects on the plants by using different alum which are raw alum sludge and used alum sludge were successfully compared. Some portion of alum sludge can be used as soil imp
