Growing Duckweed to Recover Nutrients from Wastewaters and for Production of Fuel Ethanol and Animal Feed
Jay J. Cheng,Anne-M. Stomp +1 more
TL;DR: A modified Monod model has been developed to describe nitrogen transport in a duckweed-covered pond for nutrient recovery from anaerobically treated swine wastewater and indicates that the duckweed biomass can produce significant quantities of starch that can be readily converted into ethanol.
Duckweed - a potential high-protein feed resource for domestic animals and fish
R. A. Leng,J H Stambolie,R Bell +2 more
TL;DR: Duckweeds have received research attention because of their great potential to remove mineral contaminants from waste waters emanating from sewage works, intensive animal industries or from intensive irrigated crop production, particularly by small farmers in tropical developing countries.

A pilot study of constructed wetlands using duckweed (Lemna gibba L.) for treatment of domestic primary effluent in Israel.
TL;DR: A continuous flow, free water surface (FWS) pilot wetland using the duckweed plant Lemna gibba L. was constructed at the Blaustein Institute for Desert Research in Kiryat Sde Boker of the Negev, Israel, and operated on domestic primary effluents, where hydraulic efficiency in the system was high and allowed good settling conditions.

Nutrient recovery from domestic wastewater using a UASB-duckweed ponds system
TL;DR: The pilot-scale wastewater treatment system used in this study comprised a 40-l UASB reactor (6-h HRT) followed by three duckweed ponds in series in series, which was efficient in removing COD, BOD and TSS but not nutrients.
