Phytoremediation of electroplating wastewater by vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanoides L.)

Abstract The electroplating industry generates wastewater containing a variety of heavy metals which potentially contaminate water ecosystems. The available and well-known electroplating wastewater treatments are considered as an expensive and less effective method, therefore phytoremediation was us...
