Özet

The phytoremediation potential ofMyriophyllum spicatumL. has been well documented for bulk-sized heavy metals, including zinc (Zn). However, there is no information on the removal efficiencies of this aquatic macrophyte for zinc oxide nanoparticles contaminated waters. Therefore, the present study was aimed to compare the removal efficiency ofM.spicatumin two different media: tap water and pond water. Results were evaluated by comparing percentage (%) removal and goodness-of-fit to regression models. Plants were exposed to 0.8 and 2 ppm nano-sized Zn for 1, 4, and 7 days. The zinc concentrations were monitored using ICP-MS. The %removal in tap water ranged between 29.5 and 70.3%, and slightly higher in pond water. Modeling results confirmed that there was a strong relationship between removal performance and exposure duration. Time-dependent removal shows that %removal shows no further progress after 4 days. Our results also indicate that planktonic communities in pond water might play an important role in the fate of ZnO NPs.
