“…In Egypt, the degradation of water quality is a major issue, particularly; industrial discharges produce high levels of pollutants that can subsequently contaminate the soil, sediments and surface water systems (Förstner and Salomons, 1991;Dekov, 1997;Evangelou, 1998). As such there has been a great deal of research into finding cost effective methods for the removal of contaminants from wastewater (AbdelGhani et al, 2008;Al-Anber et al, 2008). Phytoremediation methods are comparatively cheap and ecologically advantageous, compared to other common technological approaches.…”

ABSTRACT:Phytoremediation is increasingly receiving attention as a cost effective technique that uses plants to remediate contaminants from wastewater, soil and sediments. In this study, the ability of Typha domingensis to uptake heavy metals as well as its potential application for phytoremediation was assessed. Pollutant elements concentrations were measured in samples of wastewater, sediments and Typha domingensis collected from industrial wastewater ponds, El-Sadat city, Egypt. This study specifically focused on the capacity of Typha domingensis to absorb and accumulate aluminum, iron, zinc and lead. Results indicated thatTypha domingensis was capable of accumulating the heavy metal ions preferentially from wastewater than from sediments. The accumulation of metals in plant organs attained the highest values in roots, rhizomes and old leaves. Rhizofiltration was found to be the best mechanism to explain Typha domingensis phytoremediation capability.

“…Many previous authors have investigated the effect of contact time on biosorption process, as well as the biosorption kinetics (Al-Anber and Matouq, 2008;El-Ashtoukhy et al, 2008;Pandey et al, 2008;Selatnia et al, 2004). As shown in Fig.…”

ABSTRACT:The present study explores the effectiveness of Typha domingensis leaf powder for simultaneous removal of aluminium, iron, zinc and lead ions from aqueous solution. Batch experiments were carried out in laboratory at room temperature and at initial ions concentrations simulating the concentrations of these cations in real wastewater samples. The sorption process was examined applying the first and second order kinetic mechanisms. The results were best described by the second order rate kinetics. The applicability of the three equilibrium isotherm models was investigated. The obtained data follow the three investigated isothermal models in the following order: Langmuir > Freundlich > Temkin, for all the studied metal ions. The infrared spectra of native and exhausted Typha leaf powder confirmed ions-biomass interactions responsible for sorption. The results showed that Typha domingensis leaf powder can easily be envisaged as a new low cost natural biosorbent for metal clean up operations in aquatic systems.
