This work investigated the efficiency of bioremediation of heavy fuel oil (HFO) in aqueous solutions by living Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms, also known as water hyacinth. Possibility of using post-biosorption macrophytes to produce briquettes was also studied. HFO was characterized by its density, viscosity, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Water hyacinth was characterized by scanning electron microscope, pH of zero point of charge, buoyancy, and wettability. Experiments were performed to evaluate effects of contact time and initial oil concentration on biosorption. E. crassipes presented a hydrophobic nature, ideal for the treatment of oily effluents. Hollow structures in macrophytes were also identified, which favor capillary rise and retention of oils of high density and viscosity. Biosorption efficiency of HFO reached 94.8% in tests with initial concentration of 160 mg.L-1. A calorific value of 4022 kcal.kg-1 was obtained in briquettes made of water hyacinth post-biosorption. These results reinforce the great potential of E. crassipes as a sustainable and efficient alternative for treatment of oily effluents.
