In the world, a large part of the wastewater is not previously treated, resulting in the contamination of water resources. Textile wastewater contains large volume of pollution load. In the present study, the removal of pH, COD, TS, TDS, TSS, Sulphate and Chloride has been studied by using Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes. A lab scale study was conducted to test the feasibility of Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes for treating textile wastewater. pH was reduced from alkaline to nearly neutral in all dilution. The maximum percentage reduction was observed after treatment with Eichhornia crassipes and it was 25.62% for pH, 69% for COD, 25.71% for TS, 34.61% for TDS, 68% and 45% for Sulphate and Chloride respectively. Aftrer treatment with Pistia stratiotes percentage removal efficiency was pH 23%, COD 45%, TS 20%, TDS 17.53%, Sulphate 64% and Chloride 39.51%. Hence, the efficiency for removal of pollutants of textile wastewater by Eichhornia Crassipes is more than Pistia stratiotes.
