| Abstract | A mathematical model is developed for metal ions uptake by aquatic plants. The model is based on a mechanism which assumes that the complex biological substances present in the plant react with the metal ions to form complexes of these ions at the solution–plant interface, and then the metal complexes diffuse through a membrane towards the bulk phase of the plant because of the concentration gradients present in the membrane. The model predicts the decreasing capacity of the plants for metal ions uptake as the contact time between the solution and the plant is increased. Experiments are conducted in the laboratory for the removal of chromium, copper, iron, nickel, lead and zinc by measuring metal ions uptake by two aquatic plants, Salvinia and Spirodela, in the solution of these metal ions of concentration ranging from 1 to 8 ppm. After estimating the parameters of the model, it is used for predicting the metal ions concentration in the solution as a function of time and the metal ions concentration inside the plants after 14 days of contact time. The comparison of the model predictions with the experimental results shows excellent agreement. The above model may be used for design and analysis of an aquatic‐plant‐based waste water treatment system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
