Article Synopsis
- Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) are being studied for their effectiveness in cleaning polluted water and enhancing urban landscapes, with a focus on whether aeration can improve their performance.
- The research compared FTWs with and without aeration, using plant species and measuring the removal efficiency of contaminants like COD and NH-N, while varying air flow rates in the aerated tanks.
- Results showed that aeration significantly increased the removal rates of pollutants (up to 99%) and boosted plant growth rates, with the aerated FTWs demonstrating nearly a two-fold increase in growth compared to non-aerated ones.
Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) are artificial platforms that allow aquatic emergent plants to grow in water. Aquatic macrophytes and microorganisms attached to plant roots contribute to the remediation of the contaminated water through physicochemical and biological processes. The pollutant removal treatment performance is affected by various factors, including the plant species.
