A Study on the Potential of Moringa Leaf and Bark Extract in Bioremediation of Heavy Metals from Water Collected from Various Lakes in Bangalore

摘要: Abstract Many industrial water bodies are polluted with organic and inorganic contaminants discharged into them as effluents. Bioremediation is a waste management technique that facilitates removal or neutralization of pollutants from contaminated site. plants their extracts have been used for bioremediation heavy metals in the process phytoremediation. Moringa olifera , also known drumstick fast growing, drought resistant plant belongs to family Moringaceae. Its fruit leaf consumed diet bark has healing properties recorded ancient medicine. seeds reported bioremedial property which can be enhanced on chemical modification. Data optimization studies performed various adsorption chemically modified biosorbent. Our study aims at identifying major lakes around Urban Bangalore phytoremediation using dried powders. Contaminated samples were collected Bellandur, Varthur Hebbal subjected biosorption by powders according parameters optimized seed The reduction metal content was observed Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) methods. Other physico like turbidity, BOD, COD, DO, Nitrate Phosphate examined emphasize extracts. Biosorption found treated nitrate phosphate turbidity both biosorbents. These results showed enhancement potability these applications larger scale. Further recovery reusability biosorbents studied commercialization.
