Abstract
Phytoremediation is continuously driving the attention as a cost effective technique that uses plants to remove contaminants from soil, wastewater and sediments. In this study the ability of Typha latifolia (L.) was used to examine its potential application for phytoremediation. Pollutant concentration was measured in samples of wastewater initially and after phytoremediation. Results indicated that Typha latifolia (L.) was remarkably efficient in reducing maximum the pH (10.21%), TDS (54.20%), TS (55.23%), BOD (68.76%), COD (62.24%), EC (51.09%), Ca (50.66%), K (53.71%), Mg (47.59%), S (50.91%), P (50.58%), N (49.82%), Fe (53.74%), Mn (52.63%) but it increase the DO (152.79%) of sample in 60 days at 60% level of wastewater. Conclusively the present study demonstrates that Typha latifolia (L) have the potential to be used in the phytoremediation of wastewater and further uses is encouraged.
