Nickel uptake by the water hyacinth

Journal of Environmental Science and Health . Part A: Environmental Science and Engineering and Toxicology, 1990
Abstract 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.

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.

Water hyacinth as a biomass: A review

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2020
Abstract Worldwide available, attractive, and invasive biomass as water hyacinth and its characteristic has been discussed in this review. Water hyacinth biomass, as well as its production, characterization and applications, are specifically analysed. The basic principles for the conversion of biomass into biochar via physiochemical processes as well

Extraction of Nanofibrillated Cellulose from Water Hyacinth Using a High Speed Homogenizer

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2021
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crasspies) was used as a renewable cellulose source to prepare nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC). Due to the porous structure and low lignin content of water hyacinth, a 10 min-treatment time using the high-speed homogenization ...

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 ...

Water Hyacinth for Biocomposites—An Overview

2020
In 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 ...

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).
