Typhadomingensis : A New Hope for Waste Water Treatment

Chetna Gomber, Sunita Parihar, Yasmin and Ganpat Choudhary

Phytoremediation is continuously driving the attention as a cost effective technique that uses plants to remediate contaminants from wastewater, soil and sediments. In this study, the ability of Typha domingensis was used to examine its potential application for phytoremediation. Pollutant concentrations were measured in samples of wastewater initially and after phytoremediation. This study was specifically focused on the capacity of Typha domingensis to absorb the contaminants from the textile effluents and thus reduce them in the same during the course of study. Results indicated that Typha domingensis was remarkably efficient to reducing the pH, total solids and harmful ions from wastewater to a considerable manner, but it increased the BOD of the sample.
