Phytoremediation of heavy metals from industrial effluent using constructed wetland technology

Sukumaran, Dipu·2013·Applied Ecology and Environmental Sciences

Abstract

Phytoremediation is the natural ability of certain plants to bioaccumulate, degrade, or render harmless contaminants in soils, water, or air. In the present study, an attempt to have a comparative assessment of the efficiency of aquatic weeds like Typha latifolia, Eichhornia crassipes, Salvinia molesta and Pistia stratiotes to treat the effluents under laboratory conditions. The bio concentration factor (BCF) of lead, copper, arsenic and cadmium by the floating and emergent plant were studied. The effluent of rare earth separating industry had high concentration of copper, cadmium and arsenic. Eichhornia crassipes and Typha latifolia based constructed wetlands are the best options for treatment of the effluent. Lead from Titanium sponge industry effluent was removed prominently by Eichhornia crassipes than the emergent plant Typha latifolia. But other heavy metals like copper and cadmium was removed prominently by Typha latifolia.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • T. latifolia hyperaccumulated Cu and Cd, while E. crassipes accumulated Pb when grown in wetlands supplied with effluents.

    “Analysis based on Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) showed that T. latifolia hyperaccumulated Cu and Cd, while E. crassipes accumulated Pb when grown in wetlands supplied with effluents (Sukumaran, 2013).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
