Abstract


The paper industry is an industry that generates a lot of Pb waste. This study investigated the ability of three aquatic plants Zantedeschia aethiopica, Echinodorus palaefolius and Pontederia lanceolata as Pb remediation agents. The results showed that the three aquatic plants had potential as remediation agents with the ability to reduce Pb waste reaching 98.14%.
