The capacity of Lemna minor L. To accumulate heavy metals (zinc, copper, nickel)

Abstract

The assessment of the storage capacity of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Ni) in Lemna minor L., was carried out on wastewater from galvanizing plants. Purification yield decreases with increasing metal concentration in water. The rate of bioaccumulation is high in the first three days, then decreases over the next four days.
