Phytoremediation of Textile Industry Effluent using free floating Macrophyte Azolla pinnata
Introduction Water is an indispensable part for the sustenance of mankind and the increasing awareness about the environment; especially aquatic ecosystems have attracted the attention of researchers worldwide. A definite need exists to develop a low cost and eco-friendly technology to remove pollutants particularly heavy metals, thereby improving water quality. Phytoremediation offers an attra...
متن کاملSalvinia: an Aquatic Fern with Potential Use in Phytoremediation
Salvinia exhibit capacity for removing contaminants such as heavy metals, inorganic nutrients, explosives from wastewaters. Properties such as high productivity, high sorption capacity and high metal removal potential establish Salvinia as an aquatic fern with immense potential for use in phytoremediation technologies. Realizing capabilities of Salvinia, its role for mass scale use in phytoreme...
متن کاملCadmium accumulation in the rootless macrophyte Wolffia globosa and its potential for phytoremediation.
Cadmium (Cd) pollution around the world is a serious issue demanding acceptable solutions, one of which is phytoremediation that is both cost-effective and eco-friendly. Removal of Cd from contaminated water using plants with high growth rates and sufficient Cd accumulation abilities could be an appropriate choice. Here, we investigated a potential Cd accumulator, Wolffia, a rootless duckweed w...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity and identification of potential antimicrobial compounds from aquatic pteridophyte, Azolla microphylla Kaulf.
Azolla microphylla Kaulf. is an aquatic nitrogen fixing pteridophyte commonly found in aquatic habitats including paddy fields. Methanolic extract of the fronds of A. microphylla was subjected to partial purification by solvent partitioning with diethyl ether and ethyl acetate followed by hydrolysis, and further partitioning with ethyl acetate. The two fractions, thus obtained were tested for a...
متن کاملColonization, regeneration potential and growth rates of fragments of the exotic aquatic macrophyte Hydrilla verticillata
Hydrilla verticillata is an aquatic macrophyte recently found in the Upper Paraná River floodplain. This species has a high potential to reproduce and disperse to new sites, mainly through stem fragments. In this study, we evaluated the colonization (the ability of roots to develop), regeneration (the ability of lateral shoots to develop) and growth rates of this species using fragments of diff...
