Phytoremediation of olive mill wastewater with Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash and Cyperus alternifolius L.

Studies on the Abilities of Vetiveria zizanioides and Cyperus alternifolius for Pig Farm Wastewater Treatment

Vetiveria zizanioides and Cyperus alternifolius were measured for their ability to decontaminate pig farm wastewater in 50_38.5_23 cm (L_W_H) plastic boxes. These plants were grown in pig farm wastewater with CODCr at 825 mg/L, BOD5 at 500 mg/L, NH3-N at 130 mg/L and TP 23 at mg/L, C. alternifolius and V. zizanioides could cut down those index to 64%, 68%, 20% and 18% respectively by hydraulic ...

Antioxidant potential of the root of Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash.

Vetiveria zizanioides, an aromatic plant commonly known as vetiver has been used for various ailments. The essential oil of vetiver root has been shown to possess antioxidant activity. However, antioxidant potential of spent root extract has not been reported. Hence, in the present study, ferric reducing, free radical scavenging and antioxidant activity of two genotypes namely KS1 and gulabi of...

Chemical composition and biological properties of Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty syn. Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash- A Review

Vetiver [Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty syn. Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash] commonly known as khas-khas, khas, khus-khus or khus grass belongs to the family Poaceae. The roots of this grass on steam distillation yield an essential oil mainly consisting of sesquiterpenes (3-4 %), sesquiterpenols (18-25 %) and sesquiterpenones (7-8 %). Among these, the major economically important active ...

Potential of Vetiver (vetiveria Zizanioides (l.) Nash) for the Use in Phytoremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-contaminated Soils in Venezuela

HPLC Quantification of Phenolic Acids from Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash and Its Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activity.

Extraction procedure was standardized and for the soluble, glycoside, and wall-bound fractions of phenolic acids from Vetiveria zizanioides. The water soluble alkaline extract which represents the cell wall-bound fraction contained the highest amount of phenolic acids (2.62 ± 1.2 μM/g fwt GA equivalents). Increased phenolic content in the cell wall indicates more lignin deposition which has an ...
