Preliminary Study of Phytoremediation for Sulphide Treatment using Scirpus grossus

Objectives: Phytoremediation is known as oneof the green solutions to remove toxic contaminants from waste using plants. In this phytoremediation study, the synthetic spent sulfidic caustic (SSC) was introduced to Scirpus grossus plant. The survival of the plant was observed physically and the perce...
