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:48893 Thu 20 Apr 2023 09:06:50 AEST ]]>
