Abstract

Water pollution has become one of the most serious intractable issues of this era. The use of aquatic plants is considered as one of the suitable routes to remove pollutants from industrial wastewater, to protect the environment and restore resources for reuse, especially water hyacinth plant. Multi studies have shown that the water hyacinth plant has an ability to recover heavy metals from different water bodies. This paper aims to study the efficiency of the different parts of water hyacinth plant to remove many ions of heavy metals, namely chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) from polluted water bodies in Iraq, Thera Dejla channel in the northwest of Baghdad as a case study. The results obtained showed the ability of water hyacinth plant roots to adsorb lead, manganese and zinc metals with concentrations of 3.668, 3.1297 ppm and 1.1057 ppm, respectively and the rafts to adsorb 10.1545 ppm of iron while cobalt and chromium were adsorbed by stem with 0.2652 and 0.0852 ppm respectively. However, the leafs of water hyacinth were the lowest ability to adsorb the heavy metals than other parts. On the other hand, the concentrations of these heavy metals were close to zero in the water near this plant. Therefore, this plant can be used as a cheap and low-cost bio-filter to purify polluted water in rivers, lakes and ponds despite the harmful effects caused by its excessive spread.
