antibiotics

The article is dedicated to studying the effectiveness of wastewater treatment contaminated with chloramphenicol using Lemna minor with a specific biomass of 36 and 50 g/L. Purification of model solutions with an antibiotic concentration of 2-20 mg/L continued for 1-72 hours. The conducted research showed that the degree of chloramphenicol removal depends on the specific biomass of plants and the time of the process.

Based on literary analysis, the effectiveness of a range of plants (aquatic: Lemna aoukikusa, Lemna minor, Spirodela polyrhiza, Lemna aequinoctialis; vetiver grass Chrysopogon zizanioides) for the purification of wastewater from antibiotics has been investigated. It has been found that the removal efficiency for various types of antibiotics and their concentrations reaches 70 percent or more. This suggests the potential application of these aquatic plants for phytoremediation of wastewater containing antibiotic contaminants.
