WATER HYACINTH FIBRE
WATER HYACINTH FIBRE ABSTRACT: - Water Hyacinth is a free-floating perennial plant native to tropical and sub-tropical South America. The water Hyacinth plant is easily spread over the water. It has both negative and positive aspects. Water Hyacinth plant is easily available in ponds, lakes and reservoirs. The scientific name of Water hyacinth is Eichhornia crassipes . It is also known as the terror of Bengal because it is an exotic shrub which is growing at an alarming rate on the surface of water body . It inhibits the grow of fish and other aquatic organisms due to cut down of light and lack of oxygen. The very thing that should be in consideration, Water Hyacinth fibre is bio degradable and if we transform Water Hyacinth fibre into fabric or products by some process, it will be helpful for environment because of biodegradability. So, now a days so many researches are being done to extract the cellulose from the water hyacinth plant and to convert that into cellulose base
