“…Dyes are most stable and stand firm against oxidizing agents, which in the end enhance water pollution. The widespread root system and tolerance against these dyes help water hyacinth to effectively accumulate the reactive dyes [114,179]. Water hyacinth shows significance removal efficiency for Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Fe, As, Mn, Cr, As, Al and Hg as reported in different recent studies [180][181][182][183].…”

“…Successive use of dried and dead biomass of plants (as simple biosorbent substance) to remove the metals from water has gained popularity over the past few years because it is easy to handle and is a cost-effective natural approach [112,113]. Water hyacinth's (Eichornia crassipes) dried roots showed the potential to remove cadmium and lead effectively from wastewater [114,115]. Biomass of different aquatic plant species such as Eichhornia crassipes, Potamogetonlucens, and Salvinia herzegoi was reported to be successfully used as an exceptional biosorbent material for the removal of Cr, Ni, Cd, Zn, Cu, and Pb effectively in various studies [116,117].…”

Heavy-metal (HM) pollution is considered a leading source of environmental contamination. Heavy-metal pollution in ground water poses a serious threat to human health and the aquatic ecosystem. Conventional treatment technologies to remove the pollutants from wastewater are usually costly, time-consuming, environmentally destructive, and mostly inefficient. Phytoremediation is a cost-effective green emerging technology with long-lasting applicability. The selection of plant species is the most significant aspect for successful phytoremediation. Aquatic plants hold steep efficiency for the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) and Duck weed (Lemna minor) along with some other aquatic plants are prominent metal accumulator plants for the remediation of heavy-metal polluted water. The phytoremediation potential of the aquatic plant can be further enhanced by the application of innovative approaches in phytoremediation. A summarizing review regarding the use of aquatic plants in phytoremediation is gathered in order to present the broad applicability of phytoremediation.

“…The utilization of E. crassipes and other wetland plants including Lemna minor, Pistia stratiotes etc. as potential adsorbents along with their biosorption pathways involved in the removal of dye stuffs and other contaminants from textile effluents have been elucidated in detail by Priya and Selvan (2014) and Rizwana et al (2014). Sureshvarr et al (2010) using GC-MS analysis ascertained that Eucalyptus species play an effective role in the absorption of azo dyes from soil contaminated with effluents of paper and pulp industry.…”

Dumping of dye-laden effluents into different environmental compartments adversely affects equilibrium and integrity of ecological systems. Being genotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic these dyes are quite damaging to health of biota (either aquatic or terrestrial). Many of these dyes are resistant to degradation and remediation under natural conditions and through conventional treatment methods. This situation has necessitated the development of effective and efficient wastewater treatment strategies without further stressing the environment and endangering other life forms. To date many biological systems including microorganisms and plants have been assessed for metabolism of dyestuffs. Phytoremediation catalyzed by natural solar driven pumps (green plants) and their associated metabolic processes has emerged as a comparatively new approach and has proven to be one of the most effective environmental friendly strategies for removal, detoxification and decolorization of dyes. Hence, this review quotes the literature of applied aspects of various plant species and their inherent metabolic as well as extractive potentials which enable them to effectively deal with various coloring agents. ª 2015 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of King Saud University.

“…Enceng gondok yang digunakan diperoleh dari Telaga Ngipik, Kabupaten Gresik, Jawa Timur, dimana telaga tersebut merupakan telaga hasil reklamasi lahan tambang bahan baku semen dan eceng gondok yang bersifat sebagai biosorben alami, sehingga sebelum digunakan sebagai adsoben diperlukan regenerasi adsorben eceng gondok. Perlakuan dengan menggunakan larutan asam seperti larutan HNO 3 (El-Khaiary, 2007), H 3 PO 4 (ElNabarawy dan Khedr, 2000) dan HCl (Shofiyani dan Gusrizal, 2006;Priya dan Selvan, 2014) umumnya digunakan untuk regenerasi adsorben eceng gondok. Pada penelitian ini, HCL digunakan untuk regenerasi adsorben eceng gondok karena HCl adalah yang paling banyak digunakan.…”
