Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the potential use of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) in removing two herbicides (mesotrione and fomesafen) with long degradation cycles in water. The relative growth rate (RGR) of water hyacinth in the presence of 100-mg/L mesotrione and fomesafen was significantly lower than that in their absence, particularly with fomesafen. Moreover, the RGRFW and RGRDW with treatment with fomesafen were 1.47- and 1.58-fold lower than those with treatment with mesotrione, respectively. The disappearance rate constants of mesotrione and fomesafen in natural water were, respectively, 0.1148 and 0.0276 d-1 with plants and 0.0038 and 0.0005 d-1 without plants. The disappearance rate constants with and without plants were significantly different, indicating that uptake by plants combined with degradation by plant-associated bacteria account for 96.7% and 98.2% of the removal of mesotrione and fomesafen, respectively. The bioconcentration factor for mesotrione and fomesafen in living water hyacinth plants ranged 0.38-16.97 and 1.05-3.50 L/kg, respectively, whereas the residues of mesotrione and fomesafen in water decreased by 70-92 and 22-34%, respectively, after the plants were grown for 14 d in culture solution with 100-mg/L mesotrione and fomesafen. These results show that uptake by plants combined with degradation by plant-associated bacteria may be the dominant process in the removal of mesotrione and fomesafen from water by plants. Water hyacinth may be applied as an efficient, economical, and ecological alternative to accelerate the removal and degradation of agro-industrial waste water polluted with mesotrione and fomesafen.

Mishra S, Maiti A. The efficiency of Eichhornia crassipes in the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants from wastewater: a review. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 24:7921-7937.

Abstract
Water is a basic necessity of life, but due to overextraction and heavy input of nutrients from domestic and industrial sources, the contamination level of water bodies increase. In the last few decades, a potential interest has been aroused to treat wastewater by biological methodologies before discharge into the natural water bodies. Phytoremediation using water hyacinth is found to be an effective biological wastewater treatment method. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), a notorious weed, being the most promising plant for removal of contaminants from wastewater is studied extensively in this regard. It has been successfully used to accumulate heavy metals, dyes, radionuclides, and other organic and inorganic contaminants from water at laboratory, pilot, and large scale. The plant materials are also being used as sorbent to separate the contaminant from water. Other than phytoremediation, the plant has been explored for various other purposes like ethanol production and generation of biogases and green manures. Such applications of this have been good support for the technocrats in controlling the growth of the plant. The present paper reviews the phytoremedial application of water hyacinth and its capability to remove contaminants in produced water and wastewater from domestic and isndustrial sources either used as a whole live plant grown in water or use of plant body parts as sorbent has been discussed.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2016; 23:16241-16248. [PMID: 27154841 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-016-6673-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2015] [Accepted: 04/10/2016] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
The potential of Acorus calamus to remove chlorpyrifos from water was assessed under laboratory conditions. Toxic effects of the insecticide in A. calamus were evaluated using pulse-amplitude modulated chlorophyll fluorescence techniques as well. At exposure concentrations above 8 mg L(-1), A. calamus showed obvious phytotoxic symptom with significant reduction in quantum efficiency of PSII (ΦPSII) and photochemical quenching coefficient (qP) in 20-day test; the inhibition of maximal quantum efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm) was accompanied by a significant rise in initial chlorophyll fluorescence (Fo) within 15-day exposures. Fv/Fm and Fo recover to the normal level after 20-day exposure. The reduced removal rate to chlorpyrifos was observed with increase of initial chlorpyrifos concentrations. At application levels of 1, 2, and 4 mg L(-1), the disappearance rate of chlorpyrifos in the hydroponic system with plants was significantly greater than that without plants during the 20-day test periods. Chlorpyrifos was taken up from medium and transferred to above ground tissues by the plant and significant amounts of chlorpyrifos accumulated in plant tissues. The result indicated that A. calamus can promote the disappearance of chlorpyrifos from water and may be used for phytoremediation of water contaminated with a relatively low concentration of chlorpyrifos insecticide (<4 mg L(-1)).
