Abstract

Phytoremediation using plant such as Scirpus grossus, Jatropha curcas, Bassia scoparia and Seepweed has been suggested as an environmentally friendly and economical method for treating contaminated soil and water. It is the latest alternative to recovery technique. In this study, soil and water with contaminated hydrocarbon was remediated with plants being study. Hydrocarbon is a naturally occurring liquid with widely different composition and complexity. Because of that, hydrocarbon was chosen as a contaminant in soil and water. The degradation of hydrocarbon from the soil by S. grossus, Jatropha curcas, Bassia scoparia and Seepweed is 77.9%, 96.6%, 28. 7% and 20.1 %. The degradation of hydrocarbon from the water by S. grossus is 81.5% and 80.2%. From that's, result show which native plants degrade more or less contaminant hydrocarbon in soil and water. For both removal contaminant hydrocarbon in soil and water by S. grossus the increased because of help by the rhizobacteria. Moreover, S. grossus only take 72 days to degrade more hydrocarbon contaminated in soil and water. It is better than other plants because it take less period and depend on potential plant to degrade hydrocarbon Hence, S. grossus could be a promising solution for the phytoremediation of industrial contaminated water and soil with hydrocarbon
