Abstract

The dye removal using phytoremediation has demonstrated its potential to degrade many recalcitrant dyes. The kinetic investigations for phytoremediation ability of Salvinia molesta Mitchell (S. molesta) were evaluated for Direct Red 28 (DR28) dye in the present research work. The potential of S. molesta was analysed at different pH and different initial dye concentrations. About 90 % of dye decolorization was achieved for 50 mg L−1 dye solution with 4 g of S. molesta plant at pH 6.5. The experimental results were evaluated with pseudo-first, pseudo-second and Elovich kinetic models. The validation indicated the most suitable curve with Pseudo-second order having the correlation value R2 ≥ 0.99. FTIR studies supported the phytoextraction of DR28 through functional group interaction between plant hairy roots and dye molecules. The results of the present studies suggests that S. molesta can be utilized for remediation of water bodies and wetlands contaminated with dye wastewater in natural conditions.
