Background, aim and scope: Treatment performance of constructed wetlands (CWs) is largely dependent on the characteristics of the wastewater. Although livestock wastewater is readily biodegradable in general, its variety ...
A gravel-based tidal flow reed bed system was operated with three different strategies in order to investigate its optimal performance for the treatment of high strength agricultural wastewaters. According to the three ...
This paper is a research brief highlighting the development of a novel alum sludge based constructed wetland system, aimed at reducing the pollution effects of agricultural run-offs. Alum sludge is a by-product of drinking ...
This study aims to explore a novel application of dewatered alum sludge cakes (DASC) as the main medium in a single model reed bed to treat phosphorus-rich animal farm wastewater under "tidal flow" operation on a long term ...
The purification capacity of a laboratory scale tidal flow reed bed system with final effluent recirculation at a ratio of 1:1 was investigated in this study. In particular, the four-stage reed bed system was heavily loaded ...
In this paper, two laboratory scale simulated reed beds were investigated for the purpose of assessing the feasibility and effectiveness of using dewatered alum sludge as a possible substrate for wastewater treatment reed ...
In this study, dewatered alum sludge cakes were used as substrate in a laboratory
scale tidal vertical flow reed bed system treating animal farm wastewater. The
“tidal flow” operation was employed to enhance oxygen ...
The wastewater generated at a facility specialising in potato processing was found to contain high levels of insoluble potato starch. Several separation methods were
employed to obtain maximum potato starch recovery from ...
In this study, beneficial reuse of the alum-contained drinking water treatment sludge is extended into developing a novel constructed wetland system (CWs) using the alum sludge as main substrate. The study reports on the ...
Dewatered alum sludge, a by-product of drinking water treatment plants, hitherto consigned to landfills was used to develop a novel bio-filter in form of a constructed wetland. Performance results have demonstrated the ...
