Studies were carried out on extraction and retrieval of potassium from water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). The stem and leaf were subjected to 13 treatments. The highest rate of K removal following HCl treatment was 69.7% K. Most effective removal of suspended organic substances, Ca2+ and Mg2+ were achieved at pH approximately 13, when 88.0% of K remained in filtrate. Maximum K in precipitate following this step was achieved with tartaric acid additions at n(C4)H(6)O(6)/n(K)(+) of 1.72 when precipitating at 4 degrees C for 3 h, which resulted in 72.3% of K removal from the solution. Over the entire process, 44.3% of K in the dried stem-leaf sample of water hyacinth was retrieved in the form of KC4H5O6. This process demonstrated the potential for use of water hyacinth as a resource of potassium to produce potassium salts and provide a valuable end use for the plant, which could be highly invasive in aquatic ecosystems.
