Abstract Among the numerous clean-up techniques for water treatment, sorption methods are widely used for the removal of trace metals. Phragmites australis is a macrophyte commonly used in constructed wetlands for water purification, and in the last decades, its use as biosorbent has attracted increasing attention. In view of a circularly economy approach, this study investigated improvement of trace metal removal by recycling the biomass of P. australis colonizing a constructed wetland, which operates as post-treatment of effluent wastewater from an activated sludge plant serving the textile industrial district of Prato (Italy). After the annual mowing of the reed plants, the biomass was dried and blended to derive a sustainable and eco-friendly biosorbent and its sorption capacity for Fe, Cu, and Zn was investigated comparing the batch system with the easier-to-handle column technique. The possibility of regeneration and reuse of the biosorbent was also evaluated. The biomaterial showed an interesting sorption capacity for Cu, Fe, and Zn, both in batch and in column experiments, especially for Fe ions. The immobilization of the biosorbent in column filters induced some improvement in the removal efficiency, and, in addition, this operation mode has the advantage of being much more suitable for practical applications than the batch process.

The paper presented results of the comparative assessment of nutrient absorption capacity by plants, including reed grass (Phragmites australis L.) and vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides L.). The constructed wetland models were designed with experiments (i) - Loading 1 (T1): reed grass (S1), vetiver (V1) + control (C1); (ii) - Loading 2 (T2): reed grass (S2), vetiver (V2) + control (C2); (iii) - Load 3 (T3): reed grass (S3), vetiver (V3) + control (C3). The study investigated the surface water quality parameters including nutrients such as TKN (Total Kieldalh Nitrogen), ammonium (NH4-N), nitrite (NO2-N), nitrate (NO3-N), total phosphorus (TP) and phosphate (PO43-). Results showed that there was significantly decreasing change related to pollutant concentration in the tanks. The studied results showed that the water treatment efficiency of Loading 1 (T1) possessed highly nutrient absorption capacities such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Comparing the nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency, there was no statistically significant difference between reed grass and vetiver in the same loading (P>0.05). In general, in the same loading levels, the plants’ nutrient removal efficiencies were often higher than the control experiments (P<0.05). The effluent findings illustrated some parameters of water quality that met to National Technical Regulation of surface water quality for agricultural irrigation purposes (QCVN 08-MT:2015/BTNMT). Therefore, the constructed wetland technology obtained highly effective characteristics and supplying the environmental friendly advantages.

Abstract: The study aims to assess the applying effectiveness of constructed wetland technology for polluted surface water treatment. The experimental models were operated with 2 hydraulic loadings of 500mL/min/m2 (T1) and 1500mL/min/m2 (T2). The reed grass (Phragmites australis) was selected for the studying process. The surface water resource was removed from the pollutant components (TSS, BOD5, COD) and harmful microorganisms (fecal coliform) which aim to protect the water quality and aquatic ecosystems. The results showed the treatment effectiveness of loading of 500mL/min/m2 is higher than the loading of 1500mL/min/m2, especially in the reed planting trial. In particular, the treatment efficiency of pollutants such as TSS, BOD5, COD reached a high rate of 85%, 90%, and 87%, respectively. In addition, ANOVA statistical analysis showed the effectiveness of water quality parameters belong to two loadings were statistically significant (P<0.05). Thus, the surface water pollutant removal by subsurface vertical flow constructed wetland technology could be contributed to promoting the sustainable agricultural development.
