Heavy Metal Sorption by Aquatic Plants in Taiwan

This study screened twenty one strains of local aquatic plants to search for promising candidates in phyto-remediation process for metal removal. This studyalso examined kinetic and equilibrium adsorption characteristics of the promising aquatic species. Different ionic metal strength, size of the adsorbent and freshness and source of the plants, were studied to provide information for designing a phytoreactor or a constructed wetland to remove heavy metals of copper, zinc, lead, cadmium and nickel.
