Application of Aquatic Plants Dead Biomass in Remediation of Heavy Metals Pollution by Adsorption: A Review

Objectives: To figure out the sources of heavy metals pollution in water bodies, their toxicity, and utilization aquatic plants’ dead biomass as adsorbents for removal. In addition, this review also explains adsorption mechanism through isotherms kinetics. Methods: Various research papers related to plant from various have been compiled assess capacity synthetic solutions well wastewater. Findings: The using plants were found be an economic environment-friendly method metal wastewater grow rapidly are abundantly. efficacy these has increased by researchers modifying them via chemical treatment nanotechnology. It was that adsorbent derived like Eichhornia crassipes, Pistia stratiotes, Ceratophyllum demersum, Spirodela polyrhiza, Lemna minor, etc. shows good potential Novelty: data on can capable elimination aqueous solutions. As some invasive compete with native species, not desirable ecosystem, so provides double benefits. Keywords: Adsorption; Heavy metal; Aquatic plant; Adsorbent; Adsorption
