Abstract:

The present paper deals with removal of heavy metal namely Manganese from polluted water using plant species Oscimum and Mint. The experiment was divided into 2 groups. Group I as control and group II treated as experimental which received 4ppm of Manganese. In the experimental plants were exposed to 4ppm Mn for 24 and 48 hrs and the amount of Mn depleted from water was analyzed. From the experiment it is evident that the Mn from water was utilized by the plants was more during 48 hrs than in 24 hr.

Keywords:

Oscimum, Mint, Manganese, Heavy metal
