Removal of Fluoride from Water by Five Submerged Plants

Abstract: Studies were conducted on the bioconcentration of fluoride (F(-)) in five submerged plants species. Ceratophyllum demersum, Hydrilla verticillata, Potamogeton malaianus, Myriophyllum verticillatum and Elodea nuttallii were all able to remove F(-) from water to some degree of efficiencies. At 5-20 mg F(-)/L culture solution, C. demersum had the best F(-)-removal performance, E. nuttallii had the poorest F(-)-removal performance among these plants. The relative growth rate (RGR) of the five species varied in dif… Show more

“…The experimental plant S. polyrhiza, exhibited significant potentiality with respect to fluoride accumulation in concentration and duration-dependent manner. The results obtained are in agreement with the earlier findings on aquatic plants that have shown significant fluoride accumulation and its removal ability with increasing concentrations (Sinha et al 2000;Zhou et al 2012;Sharma and Kaur 2017). Bioaccumulation of toxic metals from polluted water by members of the duckweed family (L. minor and L. trisulca) is well documented (Samardakiewicz and Woźny 2000).…”

“…Water borne dental fluorosis and crippling skeletal fluorosis has been reported as a common diseases observed in India (Ayoob and Gupta 2006). Though fluoride contamination is primarily a ground water problem, fluoride laden effluent also emanates from various industrial establishments such as phosphate based fertilizer plants and factories producing aluminum, iron, glass, and ceramics etc (Zhou et al 2012). …”
