Study of Heavy Metal Remediation Potential of Eichhornia crassipes on Ponds of Raipur District

Abstract

The floating macrophyte known as the water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes, originated in tropical South America and is now found in all tropical climates. The water hyacinth is also criticized for reducing biodiversity. In any case, it could conceive serious water activity issues due to its vegetative reduplication and high development rate, assuming it's brought into unfamiliar submarine biological systems. all things considered, it's colossal biomass item rate, its high avoidance to contamination, and its weighty pith and supplement submersion limits qualify it for use in wastewater treatment lakes. Due to its rapid growth and substantial biogas production, the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) has the potential to purify colorful wastewater. The present study is focused on the heavy metal remedial potential of water hyacinth. The plants were grown in water tanks containing salts of heavy metals of known concentration for 14 days. The Atomic Absorption Spectrum analysis revealed considerable deterioration in the concentration thus confirming its phytoremediation potential.
