TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT IN REMOVING HEAVY METALS FROM INDUSTRIAL WASTE WATER

Fluorides are important contaminants found in effluents from a variety of industries, including electroplating and glass. These are extremely harmful to living things and have a negative impact on their health. Thus, removing fluoride with biosorbents is an important step toward environmental conservation. The untreated discharge of industrial waste water into the environment has long had an impact on human, plant, and animal health. These effluents contain harmful compounds that are not degradable through chemical or microbiological processes. However, they are most likely to accumulate in soil, aquatic environments, and plant organs. The present work investigated the elimination of fluoride utilizing an aquatic plant species, Eichhornia Crassipes (Water Hyacinth) by the method of phytoremediation.
