Hence, this study aims to examine the phycoremediation capacity of Pb by S. platensis at different levels of salinity. S. platensis was exposed to Pb (4 mg/L) at different levels of salinity (up to 30 ppt) for 12 days. The results indicated that salinity fluctuation was able to reduce phycoremediation capacity of Pb. The highest removal efficiency of Pb was observed in optimum salinity and decreased significantly both in lower and higher salinity treatments. Physiological disturbances in S. platensis were indicated by changes in functional groups and morphology. The morphology of Spirulina platensis both in lower and higher salinity treatments appeared to have changed its shape, resembling a disjointed thread with fading color.]]> Wed 25 Oct 2023 14:58:33 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52702 Wed 07 Feb 2024 14:37:28 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39492 Ipomoea aquatica) has potential to improve the quality of POME. This present study investigated the phytoremediation efficiency of POME, which contains high amount of chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrate, phosphate using water spinach for up to 15 days and described its impact on the growth performance. Experimental design of this study consisted of five treatments with three replications namely: control: 0% POME (0 L POME + 10 L tap water), Treatment A: 25% POME (2.5 L POME + 7.5 L tap water), Treatment B: 50% POME (5 L POME+ 5 L tap water), Treatment C: 75% POME (7.5 L POME + 2.5 L tap water), and Treatment D: 100% POME (10 L POME). The results indicated that water spinach was able to reduce COD, nitrate, phosphate and color as 86.3%, 21.5%, 90.9 % and 95.3%, respectively. Water spinach had no influence on the growth performance even up to 75% of POME containing media. Furthermore, results showed that high concentrations of POME damage root structures, and ultimately impact the growth performance of water spinach. In conclusion, phytoremediation using water spinach can be a potential remediation method to improve the quality of COD, phosphate and nitrate.]]> Tue 09 Aug 2022 14:33:54 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52129 Thu 28 Sep 2023 15:10:56 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44826 Thu 27 Oct 2022 12:26:05 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48893 Thu 20 Apr 2023 09:06:50 AEST ]]>
