Abstract

Heavy metals are the major sources of pollution which are added regularly to our water sources. present paper is an attempt to evaluate the adsorption of heavy metals like Cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) by the dry biomass of aquatic plants Eichhornia crassipes commonly called water hyacinth. Living water hyacinth plants have the capacity to absorb heavy metals from waste water. The present experimental study was conducted to assess the adsorption capacity of dry biomass of Eichhornia crassipes to compare and identify their potential to improve the water Quality by removing the impurities. The paper critically evaluates the water ? purifying capacity of dry ? biomass of free- floating macrophyte (E. crassipes). Manuscript will be helpful in showing the water purifying capacity of dry biomass of free floating macrophyte (E.crassipes) and also will evaluate the best results of adsorption shown in varied time period.
