This study was conducted to apply phytoremediation technology in removing pollutants from wastewater in an attempt to use it as a tool in the subsequent reuse of the produced water. This technology considered one of the promising technologies, as it is environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and not selective of removing pollutants. The experiment was conducted in Al-Twitha location (IAEE). Six glass tubs with (30×30×30) cm dimension and 27 L capacity each of which were filled with sewage water that brought from Al-Rustomia sewage plant after primary treatment stage bowl. The other three (control) were filled with tap water, 100g of Azolla which brought from Al-Chibayish Marsh in the south of Iraq, was equally distributed into six tubs, after 28 days the plants were harvested. the results of accumulated minerals showed a high accumulation of (Ni, Cd, Pb, Cr, Hg, Co) and they were (60, 57, 24, 74, 9, 63) % respectively over the first couple of weeks. while in the next two weeks, minerals accumulation were (172, 73, 65, 126, 36, 97) % respectively. The results showed that the A. filiculoids can reduce the amounts of accumulated heavy metals from Al-Rustomya wastewater.
