Abstract

Aluminum ion appears to be toxic to fish particularly at low pH levels. It is important, therefore, to try to remove aluminum ion from water. The short and long term effects of leaves on reducing aluminum concentration in water have been examined. The overall effect of pH on this process has also been studied. Five common species of leaves have been used and their capacities for removing aluminum from solution have been studied. Results showed that leaves absorbed aluminum in widely varying degrees, depending on the type of leaf and the pH of the solution.
