| Abstract | ||
| Pollution of the environment with toxic metals is widespread including wastewater. Lead is the most element concerning health and environment due to its accumulation potential in the food chain and also in ground water. The aim of this research was to study the adsorption ability of five different natural materials such as (Cotton stalks, Acacia, Orange peels, Rice straw and Pomegranate peels) for removal of lead ions from lead polluted solution and industrial wastewater and the effect of water remediation on the growth of sunflower plants. Lead polluted solution (200 ppm Pb) was treated with the different portions of natural materials i.e. 0.25, 0.5 and 1 g/100 ml. Residual concentration of lead in the solution was measured after 24, 48 and 72 h. lead concentration was decreased after 72h using cotton stalks, acacia, orange peels, rice straw and pomegranate peels from 200 ppm to 1.07 (89.3%), 1.45 (85.5%), 1.20 (88%), 0.85 (91.5%) and 0.54 (94.6%), respectively. A Pot experiment under greenhouse conditions in a virgin soil was conducted in to determine the effect of water remediation on the growth of sunflower plants (Helianthus annuus cv. Avante) and was irrigated using industrial wastewater collected from Helwan iron and steel industries. Data indicated that irrigation with industrial wastewater inhibited seed development, reduced seed oil percentage, crude proteins percentage, increased total carbohydrates and the mobility of lead within the plant compared with the treatments of remediated water and control. It was declared that, water remediation decreased the plant hazard caused by lead present in industrial wastewater. | ||
