The capability of Glossostigma elatinoides to accumulate Al, Mn, Fe and Mg from contaminated landfill leachate through in vitro landscape ecological model system
The growth of solid waste generation in Malaysia from year 2005 to 2013 statistically has risen from 19,000 tonne to 33,000 tonne per day. This rapid increase mainly affected the number of landfill which is the final disposal destination of solid waste. Landfill is very crucial site which need...

| description | The growth of solid waste generation in Malaysia from year 2005 to 2013 statistically has risen
from 19,000 tonne to 33,000 tonne per day. This rapid increase mainly affected the number of
landfill which is the final disposal destination of solid waste. Landfill is very crucial site
which need to be managed properly or it can be hazardous to the living things and also a silent
killer. Thus, the landfill treatment to prevent water and soil pollution is widely renowned.
Phytoremediation is one of the environmental friendly and economically approaches which using
plants to treat soil contamination. Aquatic plants are known to have capability in sequestering
heavy metals in phytoremediation. This is because it contains variety in species, high
multiplication rate, global distribution and faster in growth. Therefore, this research aimed to
assess heavy metals sequestration rate of Glossostigma elatinoides at three different
concentrations ranging from low, medium and high (0.5 mol, 1.0 mol and 2.0 mol) of four types of
heavy metal (Al, Mn, Fe, Mg) at four different periods of time (week 1 until week 4) through in
vitro landscape ecological model system. The results established that there were significant
differences between the sequestration rates of the plant, type of heavy metals, level of
concentration, period of time and their interactions. This aquatic plant species has capability and
resistance over 4 types of heavy metal toxicity. Hence, the high correlation between metal removal
in soil and this aquatic plant species indicates that this species can be used effectively for the
removal of heavy metals
from polluted or contaminated landfill soil of different concentrations. |
