“…In water, phytoremediation of Zn is well performed by E. crassipes, which achieves a 95% removal of this metal (Mishra and Tripathi, 2009). Similar percentages of Zn removal were also observed when A. pinnata and L. minor were used (Vaseem and Banerjee, 2012).…”

The uptake capacity of the aquatic plants (Salvinia natans Kunth., Eichhornia crassipes Mart., Lemna minor L., Elodea canadensis Michx., Pistia stratiotes L.) was analyzed in phytoextraction of Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , and Cd 2+. It was attend to study the plants capacity comparatively using mono and multimetallic systems. In particular, the chlorophyll, protein and carotenoids contents were studied during heavy metals uptake, in order to observe the stress effect on plants. The results obtained for the monometallic system showed that Salvinia natans Kunth. accumulated the highest quantity of Cu 2+ (4.72 mg/g), Zn 2+ (2.23 mg/g) and Cd 2+ (1.90 mg/g). The leaves of Lemna minor L. accumulated the highest concentration of Cu 2+ (10.80 mg/g) and Cd 2+ (2.78 mg/g) in multimetallic system. The water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) translocated the highest quantity of Zn 2+ in its roots (4.80 mg/g). The chlorophyll and the carotenoids levels decreased under the stress of heavy metals in both systems, while protein content increased under the influence of Cu 2+ and Cd 2+ , but decreased for Zn 2+ . The studied hydrophytes proved to be useful in the uptake of heavy metals in monometallic system and much more effective in the multimetallic system and showed great potential for further applications in the industrial and commercial wastewater treatments.

“…Solms), a free-floating perennial aquatic macrophyte native to tropical South America (Tipping et al 2011), is a member of the monocotyledonous family Pontederiaceae (Patel 2012) with long and dense hairy root system which was conducive to absorbing nutrients and was a medium for the filtering out and attachment of particulate matter including cyanobacteria (Kim and Kim 2000). It is notorious as one of the world's worst noxious invasive weed due to its tremendously vigorous growth rate (Mishra and Tripathi 2009) and depends on its peculiar physiological characteristics and nutrient absorption efficiency (Paganetto et al 2001). However, these just were the reasons for using it in phytoremediation technology on nutrient removal (Fox et al 2008;Chavan and Dhulap 2012).…”

To achieve the goals of harmful cyanobacterial bloom control and nutrient removal, an eco-engineering project with water hyacinth planted in large-scale enclosures was conducted based on meteorological and hydrographical conditions in Lake Dianchi. Water quality, cyanobacteria distribution, and nutrient (TN, TP) bioaccumulation were investigated. Elevated concentrations of N and P and low Secchi depth (SD) were relevant to large amount of cyanobacteria trapped in regions with water hyacinth, where biomass of the dominant cyanobacteria Microcystis (4.95 × 10 10 cells L −1) was more than 30-fold compared with values of the control. A dramatic increase of TN and TP contents in the plants was found throughout the sampling period. Results from the present study confirmed the great potential to use water hyacinth for cyanobacterial bloom control and nutrient removal in algal lakes such as Lake Dianchi.
