Abstract

Phytoremediation is a promising elective technique to treat modern effluents, predominantly in light
of its minimal effort and high metal restricting limit. In this work, Zinc and Chromium Phytoremediation
process by Sargassum sp. ocean growth biomass was examined . The work considered the assurance
boundaries of Zinc and Chromium sorption for example, pH, temperature, unsettling rate and biomass
size. The ideal conditions were: pH3, temperature (303k) room temperature, biomass size 0.5mm and
fomentation speed 150rpm. The greatest take-up of Chromium and Zinc is 65% and 53% separately. The
motor examination uncovered that the adsorption of Chromium and zinc by Sargassum sp . fitted the
Langmuir isotherm.
