Comparative study of filtrates through different xylem of plants

Plants possess xylem tissue, a crucial conduit for water and nutrient transport that supports plant growth and survival. To comprehend plant physiology and its responses to varying environmental conditions, we must gain insights of filtration properties of xylem tissue. The present study is focused on filtering of the contaminated water using the xylem tissue of plant. The xylem filters are made from different trees Ashoka, Mango, Jamul (Malabar plum), White Water Apple. To achieve this, we employ an innovative approach involving the addition of a pump to increase pressure, subsequently enhancing the flow rate through the xylem. As the filtrate traverses the xylem tissue, we closely monitor physical parameters (Total Dissolved Solids, pH, Turbidity) and chemical parameters (Total Hardness, Chloride, Nitrate, Sulphate, Iron, Mercury, Cyanide, Chromium). This comprehensive analysis allows us to evaluate the xylem’s efficacy in filtering and purifying the water it transports.
