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.

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 ...

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.

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).

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.

Progress on Utilization of Water Hyacinth

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
Water hyacinth is an invasive weed because of its high reproductive capacity, adaptability, nutritional requirements and resistance to adverse environments. It is impossible to eradicate and difficult to control. Since water hyacinth is mainly composed of lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose and water (around 90%).This paper introduced the current ...

Copper uptake by the water hyacinth

Journal of Environmental Science and Health . Part A: Environmental Science and Engineering, 1987
Abstract Factors affecting Cu+2 uptake by the water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) were examined. Two phases of copper uptake were observed throughout the uptake range (1–1000 mg/1). An initial rapid uptake phase of 4 hours followed by a slower, near linear uptake phase extending past 48 hours was observed.
