Sustainable development can lead to an increase in the amount of wastewater produced from industrial waste and household domestic which contains materials/substances that endanger human life disrupt environmental sustainability. The aim this research is determine optimum concentration for growth water jasmine hyacinth effectiveness phytoremediation method using plants (Echinodorus palaefolius) ...

A major source of energy for our dynamic society is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas. These sources of energy have been found to have limited amounts available, and therefore are said to be depleting resources. Scientists are continuously looking to find alternatives to fossil fuels. One such alternative is using vegetable oils to make fuel. This is achieved b...

The potential of water hyacinth ash for phenol adsorption from aqueous solution was studied. Batch kinetic and isotherm studies were carried out under varying experimental conditions of contact time, phenol concentration, adsorbent dosage and pH. The adsorption of phenol decreased with increasing pH. The Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models were used for the mathematical description of ads...

The aquatic plant water hyacinth is a powerful tool for mediating pollution from aquatic environment. PM3 semiempirical method and FTIR spectroscopy was used to predicate the mechanism of pollution control. First the plant is subjected to acetic acid 0.1 M for 19 hours. FTIR proves that the plant is cellulose like material. Furthermore, the acetylated plant is looks like cellulose acetate. The ...

Although phosphorus is an essential factor for proper plant growth in natural environments, an excess of phosphate in water sources causes serious pollution. In this paper we describe transgenic plants which hyperaccumulate inorganic phosphate (Pi) and which may be used to reduce environmental water pollution by phytoremediation. AtPHR1, a transcription factor for a key regulator of the Pi star...

The Laurentian Great Lakes have been successfully invaded by at least 182 nonindigenous species. Here we report on two new species, water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes and water lettuce Pistia stratiotes, that were found at a number of locations in Lake St. Clair and Detroit River during autumn 2010. Both species are commonly sold in the water garden and aquarium trade in southern Ontario and e...

Water hyacinth, the devastating weed grows in water bodies either naturally or as a result of human interference, is considered threat to environment due its negative effects on aquatic ecosystems. To alleviate impact utilization those become better mean recent decades. As such, hyacinth known has potential be utilized nutrient source via composting, all most types composting techniques are app...

Cellulose is the cheapest, natural, renewable organic substance that used as a carbon source in various fields. Water hyacinth, an aquatic plant rich cellulose, often raw material fuel production. However, natural cellulase can be hardly industrial production on account of its low thermal stability and activity. In this study, metagenomic library was constructed. Then, new gene, cel1029, screen...

Abstract Water hyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes ) is one aquatic plant widely used in phytoremediation. hyacinths can absorb organic, inorganic, and heavy metal pollutants. Cr(VI) of the metals found industrial waste. Adsorption techniques to remove content. Activated carbon good adsorbents because it has a high adsorption ability. The ability activated adsorb influenced by surface area, solutio...
