Decomposition of Water Hyacinth in Agricultural Drainage Water

Journal of Environmental Quality, 1981
AbstractThe present study was designed to evaluate the nutrient release from decomposing water hyacinths [Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms.] in agricultural drainage water. In a laboratory incubation study, nutrient release from the decomposing water hyacinths was measured under aerobic and anaerobic conditions at varying levels of water hyacinth ...

Removal of Cadmium from Water by Water Hyacinth

Journal of Environmental Engineering, 1987
Heavy metals and other trace contaminants enter surface and groundwater in various ways and adversely affect fauna and flora. Thus, the removal of such impurities is necessary. The heavy metals, in general, are either precipitated as sulfides or oxides. In a few cases, ion exchangers have also been used to remove metallic ions.

Water hyacinth: Potential and Threat

Materials Today: Proceedings, 2019
Abstract Water hyacinth in scientific name is known as Eichhornia crassipes. As an aquatic pest plant, water hyacinth are growing in water flow, rivers and lakes. Water hyacinth can spread rapidly from the normal size to two times in a few weeks to configure a mat on water surface. The presence of water hyacinth reduced the oxygen amount and nutrient

Water Hyacinths in Africa and Asia

2017
Water hyacinth is a floating, flowering plant, native to South America. After its introduction to Africa and Asia, the water hyacinth mass-developed in many bodies of water and became a major obstacle to navigation and fishing. The ecological effects of the huge, thick mats of floating plants involved anoxia under them and multiple hiding places among ...
