Abstract:
:In constructed wetland (CW) ecology, plants play a vital role in wastewater treatment. The plants provide an adequate surface to various microorganisms, transfers oxygen and uptake nutrients to treat wastewater. This study deals with the treatment of greywater by using vertical flow constructed wetland system (VFCW). In the present study, two reactors were prepared for two different orientations in monoculture (S-1) and mixed culture (S-2) by using four types of macrophytes (Canna indica, Colocasia, Hymenocallis littoralis, and Phragmites australis). The reactors were operated in continuous mode for 90 days by maintaining the 10 mL/min flow rate and 1-day retention time. The mean removal efficiency of S-1 is 40.70, 33.69, 27.13, 48.17, 66.76, and 50.82% for ammonia, total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), phosphate, sulfate, turbidity, and chemical oxygen demand (COD), respectively. The mean removal efficiency of S-2 CW is 53.06, 34.54, 37.49, 48.64, 69.26, and 58.26% for ammonia, TKN, phosphate, sulfate, turbidity, and COD, respectively. ANOVA showed significant differences among both VFCWs in removal efficiency for all measured parameters. The performance of the two systems was compared with each other with the significance level of p = 0.05. The results indicated that the orientation of plant plays a major role in the removal of various physicochemical parameters.
