“…Diversas investigaciones se han desarrollado para estudiar los posibles usos del lirio acuático con la intención de promover el crecimiento de la planta en lugar de erradicarla de los cuerpos de agua (Mayo & Hanai, 2017). La utilización de esta planta como fitorremediador se estudia por varios grupos a nivel mundial (Salamanca et al, 2015). Trabajos experimentales muestran que E. crassipes puede ser utilizado en la remoción de organofosforados, en un caso particular el clorpirifos (insecticida) fue removido con gran facilidad, lo que indica que esta especie invasora puede ser utilizada en beneficio de los ambientes contaminados (Anudechakul et al, 2015).…”

Introducción. El lirio acuático (Eichhornia crassipes) es una planta hidrófita libre flotante de la familia Pontederiaceae. Es una de las plantas acuáticas con mejor reproducción y tasa de crecimiento, por lo cual se extiende y forma tapetes o esteras que constriñen a las plantas nativas sumergidas y flotantes, disminuye la entrada de luz en los cuerpos de agua y disminuye el oxígeno disuelto en el agua. Objetivo. Realizar una revisión bibliográfica del lirio acuático que permita a la comunidad científica una mejor comprensión de una especie invasora, así como los efectos que provoca en el ecosistema. Desarrollo. La capacidad invasiva de esta planta pone en peligro diversos ecosistemas, ya que aprovecha las aguas ricas en nutrientes. Además, las densas colonias flotadoras causan que el contenido de oxígeno descienda hasta cero debajo de su manto, lo que provoca daños a los ecosistemas. Conclusiones. El lirio acuático es una de las plantas acuáticas más invasoras del mundo, ya que causa efectos ecológicos y socioeconómicos. Esta planta se ha usado como fitorremediadora, en la remoción de organofosforados, lo que indica que se puede usar para limpiar aguas residuales. Además, puede usarse en la producción de etanol, papel, composta, biogás, alimento humano, forraje animal, fibra y en la extracción de ácidos grasos volátiles.

“…Although phytoremediation is an excellent biotechnology strategy in soil and water systems, it does not recover 100% of the contaminated area and requires that prior to planting, complementary methods should be used to reduce the amount of pollutants in the area. Additionally, when selecting a plant for phytoremediation, it is necessary to consider its physiological requirements for growth, its condition as a native or introduced plant [261], as well as its effectiveness against a specific pollutant, as well as the secondary added value of the plants (Figure 5), for example, ornamental uses or primary biomass to produce bioethanol [255,258,262]. Hitherto, studies have focused on the effectiveness of recovery processes, the detection of ultra-trace substances along with the identification of metabolites that are produced in the plant upon treatment with active pharmaceutical ingredients [263,264] and in the understanding of metabolic pathways associated with their degradation [265].…”

From Laboratory Tests to the Ecoremedial System: The Importance of Microorganisms in the Recovery of PPCPs-Disturbed Ecosystems

et al. 2020

The presence of a wide variety of emerging pollutants in natural water resources is an important global water quality challenge. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are known as emerging contaminants, widely used by modern society. This objective ensures availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, according to the 2030 Agenda. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) do not always mitigate the presence of these emerging contaminants in effluents discharged into the environment, although the removal efficiency of WWTP varies based on the techniques used. This main subject is framed within a broader environmental paradigm, such as the transition to a circular economy. The research and innovation within the WWTP will play a key role in improving the water resource management and its surrounding industrial and natural ecosystems. Even though bioremediation is a green technology, its integration into the bio-economy strategy, which improves the quality of the environment, is surprisingly rare if we compare to other corrective techniques (physical and chemical). This work carries out a bibliographic review, since the beginning of the 21st century, on the biological remediation of some PPCPs, focusing on organisms (or their by-products) used at the scale of laboratory or scale-up. PPCPs have been selected on the basics of their occurrence in water resources. The data reveal that, despite the advantages that are associated with bioremediation, it is not the first option in the case of the recovery of systems contaminated with PPCPs. The results also show that fungi and bacteria are the most frequently studied microorganisms, with the latter being more easily implanted in complex biotechnological systems (78% of bacterial manuscripts vs. 40% fungi). A total of 52 works has been published while using microalgae and only in 7% of them, these organisms were used on a large scale. Special emphasis is made on the advantages that are provided by biotechnological systems in series, as well as on the need for eco-toxicological control that is associated with any process of recovery of contaminated systems.

“…Another current solution that has been repeatedly validated and continues to give convincing results, is the phytoremediation with artificial wetlands, since its effect for decontamination, combined with microorganisms, is effective under varying conditions due to its adaptability to different environments and easy acclimatization [Salamanca et al, 2015]. In addition, these wetlands allow for the recovery of nutrients from wastewater; this makes them a promising technology for the nutrient recovery useful for agriculture [dhikari et al, 2015].…”

The heavy metal accumulation in the sediment and removal efficiency in stabilization ponds with Hydrocotyle ranunculoides filter were evaluated. Sediment and water were sampled in June, July and August 2018. The sediment sampling for each lagoon was conducted at three sites forming a composite sample. The water samples were collected in the tributary and effluent pipelines to determine the heavy metal concentration and removal efficiency by Hydrocotyle ranunculoides. The determination of heavy metals was performed with the method of atomic flame absorption spectrophotometry. The mean concentration of heavy metals in the sediment, in a descending order, was: Fe > Zn > Pb > Cu > Cd. The concentrations of these metals ranged from 998.0 to 1365.02, from 488.01 to 600.30, from 88.23 to 95.01, from 1.47 to 1.53 and from 0.01 to 0.13 mg/Kg, respectively. In the four stabilization ponds, the pollution factor values for Cd, Cu and Fe qualified as low pollution factor. While for Zn and Pb, they qualified as moderate pollution factors. The heavy metal removal rates from the water varied by metal
