The current research demonstrates the effects of certain parameters, usually present in municipal landfill leachate, on the growth of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), a floating aquatic plant, when used for treatment of leachate. Experiments were carried out to investigate the ability of water hyacinth to grow in leachate with different salinity ions concentrations, nutrients, pH, and heavy metals concentrations. The ability of water hyacinth to remove some parameters such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, total solids, and chloride were also investigated. All experiments were conducted in batch reactors in a greenhouse environment. The leachate samples were collected from Essex–Windsor Regional Landfill, Windsor, Ontario. It was found that this treatment system required the presence of sufficient amount of nutrients (N, P, and K) to ensure plant growth. Optimum growth took place when the initial chloride and sodium concentrations were 560 mg L–1 and 330 mg L–1, respectively. The leachate pH for o...
