LITERATURE REVIEW ON BUFFER POLLUTANT REMOVAL March 29 , 2010
نویسنده
چکیده
A riparian buffer (also known as riparian vegetative filter strips, or buffer strips) is an area of vegetated land surrounding a waterbody, potentially capable of filtering non-point source pollution in runoff from adjacent lands. Main pollutants studied include sediment, nitrogen, phosphorus, bacteria, and pesticides. Although the literature suggests a general consensus about a riparian buffer’s ability to filter pollutants, efficiencies of removal have varied greatly for certain pollutants. Therefore, it is important to review current literature in order to determine the reasons for such a large range of removal rates.

A review of vegetated buffers and a meta-analysis of their mitigation efficacy in reducing nonpoint source pollution.
Vegetated buffers are a well-studied and widely used agricultural management practice for reducing nonpoint-source pollution. A wealth of literature provides experimental data on their mitigation efficacy. This paper aggregated many of these results and performed a meta-analysis to quantify the relationships between pollutant removal efficacy and buffer width, buffer slope, soil type, and veget...
متن کاملInvestigation of phenological stages and pollutants’ type on the efficiency of vegetative buffer strips
Non-point source pollution is considered as a serious issue especially in the field of eutrophication for surface waters. Vegetative buffer strips include a specific plant being passed by flow before entering the waterways, so it causes to reduce runoff volume, deposited pesticides and other pollutants of the flow through infiltration, absorption and sediment deposition. The present study has b...
متن کاملA review on Carbon nanotubes adsorbents for the removal of pollutants from aqueous solutions
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a novel material that exhibits good adsorption behavior toward various toxic pollutants in aqueous solution. These adsorbents have a fast adsorption rate and high adsorption efficiency, efficient to remove various pollutants and they are easy to recover and reuse. These features highlight the suitability of CNTs for the treatment of water polluted with heavy metal io...
