A Water Hyacinth Harvester

2021
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a free-floating plant, which grows up to three feet in height. It has thick, waxy, rounded, glossy leaves, which rise well above the water surface on stalks. Water hyacinth is among the major problems currently facing lake Victoria which is the second-largest freshwater lake in the world by area and directly ...

Biomethanation of water hyacinth biomass

Bioresource Technology, 2018
The aim of this study was to test practical solutions to improve biogas yield during the anaerobic digestion of water hyacinth (WH) biomass. Increasing the WH (whole plant) solid content to ∼40% through sun drying (6 h), and its subsequent digestion increased biogas yield by 14% with a higher biogas methane (75%) content.

Enzymatic Recovery of Water from Water Hyacinth

2013
This study sought to assess the viability of utilizing water recovered from a declared aquatic weed, Eichhornia crassipes, commonly known as the water hyacinth, for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes. Celluclast, Pectinex Ultra SP-L and Tween 80 were utilized to chemically extract water from pulp retrieved from water hyacinth.

Water Hyacinth

2015
This paper is a review of literature of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes); what it is, why it is of scientific importance, problems it causes, how it can be controlled, and how it can be a source of livelihoods. The review has shown that water hyacinth is native to the Amazon Basin and one of the world's most noxious aquatic weed.

Catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction of water hyacinth

Bioresource Technology, 2015
Thermal and catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction of water hyacinth was performed at temperatures from 250 to 300 °C under various water hyacinth:H2O ratio of 1:3, 1:6 and 1:12. Reactions were also carried out under various residence times (15-60 min) as well as catalytic conditions (KOH and K2CO3).

ENHANCED DISAPPEARANCE OF DICOFOL BY WATER HYACINTH IN WATER

Environmental Technology, 2008
The efficiency and primary mechanism of phytoremediation of water contaminated with dicofol, an organochlorine pesticide, by water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) was investigated. After 10 days of incubation in nutrient solution at 25 +/- 1 degree C, the remaining dicofol which was spiked initially at 1 mg l(-1) was 0.05 and 0.26 mg l(-1) in the non ...
