Duckweed: A Natural Solution for Wastewater Treatment
View through CrossRef
Duckweeds (members of Lemnaceae) are a highly effective solution for wastewater treatment, known for their fast growth, efficient nutrient uptake, and adaptability to diverse environments. This review presented duckweed’s role in purifying polluted wastewater by removing contaminants such as nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals and other pollutants. Through bioaccumulation and phytoremediation, duckweed significantly lowers Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and total dissolved solids (TDS). Its rapid biomass production also presents biofuel, feed, or biofertilizer opportunities. Duckweed further improves water clarity by reducing turbidity and suspended solids, offering a sustainable, cost-effective wastewater treatment option that supports environmental and resource conservation goals.
