Abstract

In this study removal of Cr(VI) and phenol was carried out in single and binary synthetic solution using the phytoremediation process. For this purpose, plants were grown in photosynthesis chamber with 12 h light and 12 h dark period. The plants were grown in nutrient solution accompanied with Cr(VI) and phenol. The various initial concentrations of Cr(VI) (5, 10, 15, 20 mg/L) and phenol (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 mg/L) in single component synthetic solution of Cr(VI) and phenol and binary solution of Cr(VI) containing Cr(VI) and phenol in (1:2) ratio was used for the experimentation. The effect of initial concentrations o to the specific growth rate of the plant was investigated. The effect of pH on to the percentage removal of Cr(VI) in binary solution was also investigated.
