Karst water is rich in calcium ions (Ca<sup>2+</sup>) and exhibits poor metal availability and low biodegradation efficiency. This study sought to analyze the effects and mechanisms of Ca<sup>2+</sup> on lead (Pb) removal and absorption by <i>Eichhornia crassipes</i> (a floating plant common in karst areas). Moreover, the morphology and functional groups of <i>E. crassipes</i> in water were characterized via SEM, and FTIR. The results demonstrated that the removal rate of Pb in karst water (85.3 ...[more]
