Rhizofiltration of a Heavy Metal (Lead) Containing Wastewater Using the Wetland Plant Carex pendula

Abstract: Research Article Rhizofiltration of a Heavy Metal (Lead) Containing Wastewater Using the Wetland Plant Carex pendulaRhizofiltration is a subset technique of phytoremediation which refers to the approach of using plant biomass for removing contaminants, primarily toxic metals, from polluted water. The effective implementation of this in situ remediation technology requires experimental as well as conceptual insight of plant-water interactions that control the extraction of targeted metal from polluted water res… Show more

“…Higher metal contents in the plants of T2 and T3 as compared to T1, showing a positive correlation between water and nutrient availability and plants nutrient concentrations. Similarly, high concentrations of nutrients were observed in different plants irrigated with textile and other industrial effluents . Overall, leaves had the highest concentration of nutrients followed by the root and stem in all of the three treatments.…”

“…Both terrestrial and aquatic plants show these type of activities (Yadav et al 2011 ). In rhizofi ltration it is the root system of plants that interacts with the contaminants or polluted site for making that area pollution free (Krishna et al 2012 ).…”

“…Constructed wetlands exhibited capacity for treatment of domestic wastewater where BOD and COD (biochemical and chemical oxygen demand, respectively) are used as a sum parameter for organic matter (Seeger et al 2011;Yada et al 2011). Wetlands may be considered as a feasible alternative for mitigating emerging contaminants from river water.…”
