Phytoremediation Potential of Asopalav (Pollyalthia Lolgifolia) For Degradation of an AZO Dye-Eriochrome Black - T

Abstract

The use of Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly and non-destructive method of dye removal from water and soil. On the basis of Asopalav ability, is investigated for Phytoremediation. Different experiments were carried out with different concentration of an azo dye Eriochrome black-T (EBT). Degradation of EBT was confirmed with the help of UV-visible spectroscopy. Parameters like pH and conductivity was also studied before and after treatment with Asopalav (pollyalthia lolgifolia). The values of these parameters were found to be significantly reduced by Asopalav (pollyalthia lolgifolia) within 72 hours and it has been observed that Asopalav is an efficient plant for degradation of dyes from water resources.
