Pb(II) removal from aqueous solution by Myriophyllum spicatum and its compost: equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic study

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Lead is one of the frequent contaminants of industrial wastewater. Since it has been shown that aquatic plants can be used for the removal of heavy metals, herein Pb(II) biosorption by Myriophyllum spicatum and its compost were investigated. Effects of pH, ionic strength and contact time were analyzed using a batch experiment. Biomasses were characterized chemically and by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques.

“…With mowing, the amount of unwanted aquatic weed from lake is being significantly reduced (approximately 350-400 m 3 per harvesting cycle) The harvested plant material is placed in an open landfill used specifically for this purpose without turning. Samples of compost were taken from the landfill surface (1 year old) [13].…”

“…Due to vegetative reproduction and forceful growth dense stand considerably impacts water flow and clog industrial and potable water supply systems, blocks sunlight for native aquatic plants and creates habitats favorable for mosquitoes (Aiken et al, 1979). Methods for growth control are physical (harvesting), chemical and biological (Milojković et al, 2014) Myriophyllum spicatum has been investigated for their potential in heavy metal removal. Mechanisms of metal removal by biosorption can be classified as: extracellular accumulation/precipitation, intracellular accumulation and cell surface sorption/precipitation (Rai et al, 2002).…”
