CAVIEDES RUBIO, Diego Iván; DELGADO, Daniel Ricardo and OLAYA AMAYA, Alfredo. Removal of heavy metals commonly generated by industrial activities, by means of neotropical macrophytes. Rev. P+L [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.2, pp.126-149. ISSN 1909-0455. https://doi.org/10.22507/pml.v11n2a11.
ABSTRACT This document gathers results from several research Works about the use of 30 aquatic common plants from the American tropical zone for the removal of some heavy metals commonly used in industrial activities, and which have been reported in waste water. The paper also includes the revision of methodological aspects for the experiments with these plants, the conditions at scale of laboratories and the most used techniques for the chemical quantification of the microcontaminants.
Keywords : heavy metals; removal; floating aquatic plants.
