THE COMPARISON OF MINERALS IN CARICA PAPAYA, WRIGHTIA TINCTORIA, ANANAS COMOSUS, AND PONGAMIA PINNATA.

Abstract

Minerals such as nitrates, potassium, phosphates, magnesium, calcium, sulphates, manganese, copper, zinc, iron, and boron are abundant in plants. It will be more beneficial in many disciplines to know how much of the main minerals, nutrients, enzymes, phytochemical components, and biochemical components are present in the plants. One such area is the cleanup of plants. The technique of controlling pollution with plant material is known as phytoremediation. The quantities of phosphates, sulphates, and chlorides for the plants Carica papaya, Wrightia tinctoria, Ananas comosus, and Pongamia pinnata have been estimated in this study. The estimation of barium chloride method is used to measure sulphates, and a nephelometer Is used to record the concentrations. Potassium chromate is used as an indicator in the titration of silver nitrate, which is used to test chlorides. Ammonium molybdate and stannous chloride are used to determine phosphate levels, and a spectrophotometer is used to record the color intensity. The findings indicate that Ananas comosus has higher sulfate levels while Pongamia pinnata has much lower sulphate levels. Carica papaya and Ananas comosus have higher and equal amounts of chlorides, while Wrightia tinctoria has much lower amounts. Similarly, Carica papaya and Ananas comosus have greater and equal amounts of phosphates, while Wrightia tinctoria has lower amounts.
