Efficacy of Aquatic Plants for Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater
Journal Title: SSR Institute of International Journal of Life Sciences (SSR-IIJLS) - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Wastewater treatment is a problem of grave concern in most developing countries. In the last two decades, there has been a lot of research to develop appropriate technologies to alleviate pollution in water resources. Efficient wastewater treatments through conventional methods are expensive and difficult to get optimum results. Currently, phytoremediation is an effective and affordable solution used to remediate toxic pollutants from aquatic ecosystems. The review describes various aquatic plants, which have high potential to remove heavy metals from wastewater.
