Constructed wetlands are a potential method for the removal of two pharmaceutical and personal care products from wastewater effluent. Triclosan (TCS; 5-chloro-2-[2,4-dichlorophenoxy]phenol) and triclocarban (TCC; 3,4,4'-trichlorocarbanillide) are antimicrobial agents added to a variety of consumer products whose accumulation patterns in constructed wetlands are poorly understood. Here, we repo...

Aquatic plants play an essential role and are effective in mitigating lake eutrophication by forming complex plant-soil system and retaining total nitrogen (TN) and phosphorus (TP) in soils to ultimately reduce their quantities in aquatic systems. Two main vegetation types (Phragmites australis community and P. australis + Typha latifolia community) of Qin Lake wetland were sampled in this stud...

This study investigated the efficiency of a sequential system involving surface flow and vegetated sub-surface constructed wetland (CW) in treatment Brewery Wastewater. Six experimental CW (2 4 subsurface flow) control (1 2 with 200 mm depth 19.05 diameter granite 100 sharp sand as substrate were used for experiment. The CWs planted locally available macrophytes: water hyacinth (Eichhornia cras...

Abstract The canteen and laboratory of every academic organization need a lot clean water, it generates equivalent amount wastewater hour which is neither purified nor reused. Due to water scarcity, the recycling reusing become very essential. present study describes simple cost-effective method for design small-scale treatment plant purification generated by household, an institute. current ex...

1. Herbivory on freshwater macrophytes has been assumed to be insignificant and rare. More recent evidence suggests herbivory is common and the impact of invasive invertebrate herbivores can be substantial. However, little is known about consumption of macrophytes by fish. 2. We performed a series of feeding assays, based on the consumption by common carp (Cyprinus carpio), to determine if any ...

Kemampuan tumbuhan air Typha latifolia, bambu (Equisetum hyemale), dalam sitem lahan basah buatan sebagai unit bioremediator diharapkan mampu menyelesaikan permasalahan terkait pengolahan limbah cair fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh aerasi dan jenis tanaman T. latifolia E. hyemale terhadap penurunan parameter rumah sakit Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD),...

The results of a comparative morphological analysis Typha sakhalinica Krasnova et Efremov are pre-sented. It was found that the characters reproductive organs do not correspond to T. latifolia from European part Russia. species is distinguished by staminate flowers with narrow membran-ous anthers, large and solitary pollen, degraded in bunches three. Plants smaller, cauline leaves axils membran...

The city of Sialkot in Pakistan is a hub leather tanneries, with approximately 260 tanneries operation and, while producing millions products per day, the discharges gallons untreated effluent into drains each day. In order to devise cost-effective system for treatment tannery wastewater, floating wetland (FTW) was established treat using local plant species through phytoremediation. efficiency...
