Uptake of Heavy Metals from Industrial Wastewater Using In Vitro Plant Cultures

Abstract: The plant species Bacopa monnieri has been observed to reduce the heavy metal concentrations in its vicinity. The present study is a comparison of in vitro culture and soil-grown plants of B. monnieri to remove Cr and Cd, from synthetic solution and effluent obtained from industrial area. Results were obtained at every half hour interval upto 180 min. Samples were observed for light absorption using UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Statistically, both systems reclaimed Cr and Cd from polluted water. In vitro cult… Show more

“…Jauhari et al, [95] used Bacopa monnieri for the treatment of heavy metal contaminated wastewater. It has been observed soil-grown Bacopa monnieri remove 64 Cr% and 83% Cd from the wastewater whereas in vitro cultured plants reduce the concentration of Cr 67% and 93% Cd from wastewater.…”

“…In addition, B. monnieri is used to remove heavy metals in phytoremediation programs. In nature, the plant needs water for its growth and development (Jauhari et al, 2017). B. monnieri is not propagated through seeds because of their short viability (two months) and seedling death frequently.…”
