Original abstract
As a result of various human activities, a large amount of heavy metals enters water bodies. Restoration of the environment with the help of plants is of great interest all over the world due to the possibilities offered by phytoremediation technology. This article is devoted to the development of an approach to wastewater treatment from heavy metals using Eichhornia using carbon fibre, which contributes to greater absorption capacity. It is proposed to use carbon fibre as “artificial roots” of plants. The article presents a scheme of an experimental setup with the use of carbon fibre in various combinations, including the use of a chelating agent – disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Trilon B) with various degrees of washing. It has been established that Eichhornia shows good results in the accumulation of heavy metals (Cu, Ni, Zn) in plant organs. The results indicate a positive effect from the use of carbon fibre as “artificial roots” in combination with Trilon B in relation to copper and zinc. The amount of remaining сopper and zinc in the water is the lowest at 4% and 8%. © 2022 The Authors
