| description | There is growing interest in phytoremediation, a plant-based wastewater treatment technique that is both environmentally benign and cost-effective. Macrophytes such as water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) and duckweed (Lemna minor) were investigated for their efficiency in wastewater treatment for a period of ten days. The untreated and treated samples were subjected to turbidity and chemical oxygen demand (COD) tests at a detention time of 24�h. The findings from the investigations indicated up to 91.9% reduction efficiency for water lettuce-treated effluent, while duckweed-treated effluent achieved 87.2% (turbidity) and 46% (COD) reduction efficiency. Therefore, the overall findings demonstrated that the two plants can be effectively used in the remediation of domestic wastewater. � 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. |
