The Use of Constructed Wetlands to Treat Effluents for Water Reuse

Environments, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(2), P. 35 - 35

Published: Feb. 14, 2024

Constructed wetland systems (CWs) are technologies based on natural processes for pollutant removal and have been more accepted in the treatment of domestic industrial wastewater. This study selected reviewed articles published last six years involving use different CW conceptions their association with other to treat effluents evaluated quality reuse. From a total 81 reviewed, 41 presented quantitative data treated effluent relation requirements reuse regulations countries world. CWs can be used gray water runoff water, as well purpose reusing them. While studies new chemical biological substances increased, challenges associated optimization improve pathogens contaminants that appeared recently. The potential improved those pollutants lies conventional advanced configurations. We concluded related using constant evolution, experiments at scales. perspectives promising since an economic, environmentally friendly, efficient technology help mitigation scarcity problems imposed by climate changes.

Application of ornamental plants in constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment: A scientometric analysis

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 7, P. 100307 - 100307

Published: Jan. 31, 2023

The application of ornamental plants in constructed wetlands (CW) is increasingly interest to researchers, professionals actively involved wetland management and/or wastewater treatment (WWT), so it necessary know the trends this field research. objective study was develop a scientometric on use CWs for WWT during period 2002–2022. For this, search information carried out Scopus database, including all articles and reviews related field. analysis recovered documents allowed key aspects evolution production recent years, maturity research field, identify most used therefore gaps. Likewise, possible countries, relevant authors, main journals cited through which knowledge area disseminated. results showed that Mexico, Brazil, USA, China India have highest number publications CWs. It found are Canna, Iris, Heliconia Zantedeschia. This can help researchers new approaches concluded has aroused great since 2002; however, more still be with cold climates, influence substrate growth these plants.

The potential for nature-based solutions to combat the freshwater biodiversity crisis

PLOS Water, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 2(6), P. e0000126 - e0000126

Published: June 8, 2023

Enthusiasm for and investments in nature-based solutions (NBS) as sustainable strategies climate adaptation infrastructure development is building among governments, the scientific community, engineering practitioners. This particularly true water security water-related risks. In a freshwater context, NBS may provide much-needed “win-wins” society environment that could benefit imperiled biodiversity. Such conservation benefits are urgently needed given ongoing biodiversity crisis, with declines species their habitats occurring at more than twice rate of marine or terrestrial systems. However, to make meaningful contributions safeguarding biodiversity, clear links must be established between applications priorities conservation. this paper, we link common six priority actions life by science n highlight research knowledge will necessary bring bear on crisis. particular, illustrate how can play direct role restoring degraded aquatic floodplain ecosystems, enhancing in-stream quality, improving hydrological connectivity ecosystems. System-level monitoring ensure deliver promised ecosystems species.

Exploring macrophytes’ microbial populations dynamics to enhance bioremediation in constructed wetlands for industrial pollutants removal in sustainable wastewater treatment

Symbiosis, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 92(3), P. 323 - 354

Published: March 15, 2024

Abstract Toxic contaminants from intense industrial operations are entering wetlands, harming human health and biodiversity. Macrophytes serve as principal producers in aquatic environments including natural providing shelter, food, and, most crucially, intricate relationships with the surrounding microbial assemblage for support microorganisms attachment. Wetlands have been nature's kidneys, filtering water. Recent research has examined macrophytes' phytoremediation abilities. With recent improvements focused on engineered wetland technology, microbiological characterization, genetic engineering, strategies also benefited. However, little role population play macrophyte efficiency pollutant degradation, extent even mechanisms of these interactions, their potential utility wastewater treatment diverse effluents. Our bid greener solutions implies that macrophyte-microorganisms’ interspecific interactions situ effluents should be optimised to remove before discharge waterbodies or recycle water usage. This review provides varied types plants beneficial effective processes artificial design well considerations modifications constructed designs necessary improve bioremediation processes. Additionally, discusses latest advancements engineering techniques can enhance effectiveness phyto-assisted treatment. We will explore utilisation invasive species demonstrated ability pollutants controlled setting wetlands.
