This study investigated the effects of radial oxygen loss (ROL) of three different plants on nitrobenzene (NB) wastewater treatment and bioelectricity generation performance in constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC). ROL and root biomass from wetland plants showed positive effects on NB wastewater compared to unplanted CW-MFC. Scirpus validus exhibited higher tolerance to NB than Typha orientalis and Iris pseudacorus at 20-200 mg/L NB. As NB concentration reached 200 mg/L, the CW-MFC with Scirpus validus had relatively high DO (2.57 ± 0.17 mg/L) and root biomass (16.42 ± 0.18 g/m), which resulted in the highest power density and voltage (19.5 mW/m, 590 mV) as well as NB removal efficiency (93.9 %) among four reactors. High-throughput sequencing results suggested that electrochemically active bacteria (EAB) (e.g., Geobacter, Ferruginibacter) and dominant NB-degrading bacteria (e.g., Comamonas, Pseudomonas) could be enhanced by wetland plants, especially in CW-MFC with Scirpus validus. Therefore, Scirpus validus was a good option for simultaneously treating NB wastewater and producing bioelectricity.

Article Synopsis
- Oil sands process affected water (OSPW) contains high levels of trace metals, prompting the need for effective treatment methods using constructed wetlands.
- This study explored the effects of adding carbon-based amendments and different wetland plant species on the removal of various metals, revealing that plant species significantly impacted metal removal efficiency, while amendments alone were less effective.
- The results showed that Carex aquatilis was the most effective plant for removing metals, achieving removal rates between 78.61% and 96.31%, while demonstrating that most metals accumulated in roots rather than being transported to shoots.

Artificial sweeteners (ASs) are ubiquitously detected in the global water system, among which acesulfame (ACE) is an emerging contaminant for its chemical and biological stability and unsatisfying removal by conventional or advanced treatment technologies. Phytoremediation is an effective and sustainable in-situ remediation technology that this study is the first to explore ACE removal by aquatic plants. The emergent plants, Scirpus Validus (S.

Heavy metal pollution in coastal zone is a global environment problem concerning the international society. As an eco-friendly and economical method, phytoremediation is a promising strategy for improving heavy metal pollution in coastal soil. In order to alleviate the ecological risk of heavy metal pollution in Jinzhou Bay, a typical and important heavy industrial area in China, three local wetland plants (Scirpus validus, Typha orientalis and Phragmites australis) were selected and planted in the field.

The study aims to identify relations of denitrifying bacterial and fungal communities to nitrogen removals in vertical flow wetland microcosms (VFWMs) using four macrophyte species (Iris pseudacorus, Canna glauca, Scirpus validus and Cyperus alternifolius) and three species richness levels (unplanted, monocultured and 4-species mixture) as fixed factors. Results showed that among four macrophyte species, only Canna glauca planting significantly decreased nitrate removal by 87.7% in the VFWMs.

Today, particulate-matter (PM) pollution has become one of the most severe air-pollution problems. As the most commonly used method in daily life, phytoremediation can use plant organs (such as leaves) as biological filters for pollutants to repair the atmosphere. At the same time, rainfall can remove PM from plant-leaf surfaces and enable them to adsorb PM again.
