Biomethanation of water hyacinth biomass
Bioresource Technology, 2018The 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.

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.

Enzymatic Recovery of Water from Water Hyacinth
2013This 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, 2015Thermal 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).

Nickel uptake by the water hyacinth
Journal of Environmental Science and Health . Part A: Environmental Science and Engineering and Toxicology, 1990Abstract Factors influencing the uptake of Ni2+ by the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) were studied. In the concentration range of 1–1000 ppm nickel the uptake of nickel occurred in an initial rapid phase followed by a slower, near linear uptake phase.

ENHANCED DISAPPEARANCE OF DICOFOL BY WATER HYACINTH IN WATER
Environmental Technology, 2008The 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 ...

Progress on Utilization of Water Hyacinth
Advanced Materials Research, 2014Water 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 ...

Water Hyacinth for Biocomposites—An Overview
2020In recent years, there is a mounting interest in the utilization of natural fibers in composite materials due to their abundancy, low density and weight, low cost, recyclability and biodegradable properties. It is well known that these plant fibers are rich in cellulose and have the greater potential as reinforcements in polymeric materials to form ...
