ABSTRACT: The 6 different genera Canna indica L., Eichhornia crassipes, Nelumbo nucifera, Iris pseudacorus L., Ceratophyllum demersum L., and Myriophyllum spicatum L. were selected as experimental plants. All genera could remove cobalt (Co) from water, and E. crassipes showed the highest removal efficiency of 94.86%. C. demersum L. showed the strongest enrichment ability with a maximum comprehensive enrichment coefficient of 4214.08. For different aquatic plant species, the best harvest time should be considered, and different harvesting methods should be adopted to avoid secondary pollution caused by the decomposition of aquatic plants. In combination with the landscape effect of aquatic plants, the floating plants, E. crassipes and C. demersum L., can be considered potential species for the remediation of Co-polluted water body.
