Abstract

The PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY is the most productive and widely spread industry in Iran. Due to the variety and complexity of its industrial products, it also produces a wide range of pollutants. The release of MERCURY from chlor-alkali units into environment is one of the fundamental problems of this industry. Various studies have shown that PHYTOREMEDIATION is very efficient for removal of MERCURY from aqueous solutions and, in some cases up to 95% of MERCURY has been removed from the solution. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of common reed (Phragmites australis) in the removal of MERCURY from the chlor-alkali effluent in Bandar Imam Petrochemical Complex. Plant samples were harvested from Shadegan wetland, transported into the laboratory and cultured hydroponically in plastic aquariums. Wastewater samples were also collected from chlor-alkali plants and added into the culture medium. An aquarium containing wastewater, water and nutrients was considered as the control. Wastewater and plant samples were collected at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days of treatment. After acid digestion, MERCURY concentrations in wastewater and plant samples were measured by an Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy instrument. The results showed that Time has a direct effect on MERCURY uptake by common reed. The average concentration of MERCURY in plant samples in 1th, 3th, 5th and 7th day respectively was 2271.58, 3743.47, 4204.98 and 3039.32 ppm. Also by the end of the study period, 96.25% of MERCURY were removed from common reed aquarium effluent water. Therefore common reed is recommended for the removal of MERCURY from petrochemical industries wastewater.
