Development of constructed wetlands in performance intensifications for wastewater treatment: A nitrogen and organic matter targeted review
TL;DR: Different operation strategies (recirculation, aeration, tidal operation, flow direction reciprocation, and earthworm integration), innovative designs, and configurations for the intensifications of the performance of intensified CWs mainly for the removal of nitrogen and organic matter are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of microbial fuel cell integration into constructed wetland on the performance of constructed wetland.
TL;DR: The present work is the first detailed study, which is about the performance of CW after MFC integration with it, and indicates towards a more practical application of MFC in wastewater treatment along with electricity production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Municipal wastewater treatment in horizontal and vertical flows constructed wetlands
TL;DR: In this article, two large-scale subsurface constructed wetland pilot plants were designed, implemented and operated for almost three years for the treatment of a real municipal wastewater, and the results indicated significant removals of different pollutants in both HFCW and VFCW in terms of COD, BOD, and TSS.

Efficiency of Phragmites australis and Typha latifolia for heavy metal removal from wastewater
Menka Kumari,B.D. Tripathi +1 more
TL;DR: Positive correlation coefficients of Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, Fe, Pb and Zn concentrations in wastewater with the retention time revealed that there was an increase in the heavy metal removal rate with retention time.

Effects of plant species in a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland – phytoremediation of treated urban wastewater with Cyperus alternifolius L. and Typha latifolia L. in the West of Sicily (Italy)
TL;DR: In this paper, two emergent macrophytes (Cyperus alternifolius L. and Typha latifolia L. ) were compared in a pilot horizontal subsurface flow system for the phytoremediation of treated urban wastewater in the West of Sicily (Italy).

Do macrophytes play a role in constructed treatment wetlands
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized how macrophytes influence the treatment processes in wetlands and concluded that the most important functions of the macrophyte in relation to the treatment of wastewater are the physical effects the presence of the plants gives rise to.

The potential for constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment and reuse in developing countries: a review
TL;DR: The potential of constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment and reuse in developing countries by looking at the results of current research initiatives towards implementation of the technology in these countries is highlighted in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Horizontal sub-surface flow and hybrid constructed wetlands systems for wastewater treatment
TL;DR: The first experiments using wetland macrophytes for wastewater treatment were carried by out by Kathe Seidel in Germany in early 1950s as mentioned in this paper and the horizontal sub-surface flow constructed wetlands (HF CWs) were initiated by Seidel and improved by Reinhold Kickuth under the name Root Zone Method in late 1960s and early 1970s and spread throughout Europe in 1980s and 1990s.

Functions of Macrophytes in Constructed Wetlands
TL;DR: Macrophytes stabilise the surface of the beds, provide good conditions for physical filtration, prevent vertical flow systems from clogging, insulate against frost during winter, and provide a huge surface area for attached microbial growth.
