Sen and Mondal (1990) studied the Cu absorption by floating salvinia (Salvinia natans) abundant in ponds and lakes of India. The Cu concentrations (Co = I-100/rg/ml) were created in the culture medium where adult plants (with a biomass... 

In a series of fifteen papers published between 1912 and 1921 Bottomley, for example , came to the conclusion that humic substances enhanced the growth of Lemna major, Salvinia natans and Limnobium stoloniferum in solution culture by providing substances... 

Recent reports on biosorbents based on diverse types of macrophytes are found widely in the literature. Free-floating aquatic plants from the genera Salvinia, Azolla, Eichhornia, Lemna, and Pistia have been described the most. S. natans biomass was able to uptake As(V) at low initial concentrations from 0.25 to 2 mg/L (74.8% and 54%, respectively). The experimental data fitted well to both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The effect of pH and biomass quantities on sorption rate has also been investigated along with some metabolic parameters.105...
