Abstract
The purpose of the current study is to determine whether using Catharanthus
roseus leaves to remove arsenic from contaminated water is feasible. Water
contaminated with 90 ppb arsenic. Different amounts of dried Catharanthus
roseus leaf and stem biomass were used to remediate arsenic. After treating
12g of Catharanthus leaf, the concentration of arsenic dropped by 55%,
while after treating 12g of Catharantus stem biomass, the concentration
dropped by 44%. It was discovered that the Catharanthus leaf had a
higher adsorption than the Catharanthus roseus stem. The study shows
that biomass from Catharanthus roseus leaves and stems can be an
effective method for phytoremediation of water contaminated with arsenic.
