Heavy metal removal mechanism of acid mine drainage in wetlands: A critical review

TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of the heavy metal removal mechanism involving various physical, chemical and biological processes, which govern wetland performance, have been made. This information is important for the siting and use of wetlands for remediation of heavy metals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of constructed wetlands in water pollution control: historical development, present status, and future perspectives

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the state-of-the-art of the uses of constructed wetlands in water pollution control by reviewing the basics of the technology, the historical development, and the performance expectations with focus on the use of free water surface and subsurface flow constructed wetlands for municipal wastewater treatment.

Cultural preferences in designing ecological sanitation systems in North West Frontier Province, Pakistan

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the perceptions of rural Muslim communities regarding alternative sanitation systems, and found that women and men's focus groups in Machaki village in the district of Karak, North West Frontier Province (NWFP), were interviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of nutrient removal efficiency and microbial enzyme activity in a baffled subsurface-flow constructed wetland system

TL;DR: It is suggested that the activity of urease in the root zones of those three CWs is an important indicator for N purification from wastewaters.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Pervaporation Study of Ammonia Solutions Using Molecular Sieve Silica Membranes

TL;DR: It was found that the silica membrane with confirmed molecular sieving features had higher water selectivity over ammonia, while the cobalt doped molecular sieve silica-based ceramic membranes were evaluated based on the ammonia concentration factor downstream and long-term performance.
