Aquatic arsenic: phytoremediation using floating macrophytes.
Phytoremediation, a plant based green technology, has received increasing attention after the discovery of hyperaccumulating plants which are able to accumulate, translocate, and concentrate high amount of certain toxic elements in their above-ground/harvestable parts. Phytoremediation includes several processes namely, phytoextraction, phytodegradation, rhizofiltration, phytostabilization and ...
متن کاملPhytoremediation of Textile Industry Effluent using Aquatic Macrophytes
Introduction Pollution can be defined in several ways. Water pollution occurs when energy and other materials are released into water. It includes all of the waste materials that cannot be naturally broken down by water. In other words, anything that is added to the water, above and beyond its capacity to break it down, is pollution. In certain circumstances pollution can be caused by nature it...
متن کاملEvaluation of metal contamination and phytoremediation potential of aquatic macrophytes of East Kolkata Wetlands, India
OBJECTIVES The present study analyzes metal contamination in sediment of the East Kolkata Wetlands, a Ramsar site, which is receiving a huge amount of domestic and industrial wastewater from surrounding areas. The subsequent uptake and accumulation of metals in different macrophytes are also examined in regard to their phytoremediation potential. METHODS Metals like cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu),...
متن کاملTreatment efficiency of effluent prawn culture by wetland with floating aquatic macrophytes arranged in series.
The efficiency of a series of wetland colonized with Eichhornia crassipes and Salvinia molesta to treat the effluent of a giant river prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) broodstock pond was evaluated in this study. The experimental design was completely randomized and was performed in 9 rectangular tanks (1.6 m3) with three treatments (constructed wetlands) and three replicates. The treatment typ...
متن کاملPhytoremediation of lead from wastewater using aquatic plants
Increasing urbanization, industrialization and over population is one of the leading causes of environmental degradation and pollution. Heavy metals such as Pb, Zn, Cd, As etc. are one of the most toxic pollutants which show hazardous effects on all living livings. Lead is one such pollutants which disrupts the food chain and is lethal even at low concentrations. The prevailing purification tec...
