Advantages and limitations of duckweed-based wastewater treatment systems
83
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental research program on duckweed-based treatment systems was carried out in order to find a reliable, simple and cost-effective small wastewater treatment system, in which the results confirmed that their extensive use in Italy seems difficult because of the high requirement of land area and the ceasing of growth in winter months.

TL;DR: Green Energy and Technology as discussed by the authors is a monograph series for scientific and technological approaches to "green" i.e., environmentally friendly and sustainable technologies, focusing on energy and power supply, while a focus lies on green solutions in industrial engineering and engineering design.
Comparison of horizontal and vertical constructed wetland systems for landfill leachate treatment
Arda Yalcuk,Aysenur Ugurlu +1 more
TL;DR: To treat organic pollution, ammonia and heavy metals present in landfill leachate by the use of constructed wetland systems and to quantify the effect of feeding mode, a pilot-scale study was conducted on subsurface flow constructed wetlands systems operated in vertical and horizontal mode.

Growing duckweed in swine wastewater for nutrient recovery and biomass production.
Jiele Xu,Genxiang Shen +1 more
TL;DR: In winter, nutrients could still be substantially removed in spite of the limited duckweed growth, which was probably attributed to the improved protein accumulation of duckweed plants and the nutrient uptake by the attached biofilm on duckweed and walls of the system.

Effect of total ammonia nitrogen concentration and pH on growth rates of duckweed (Spirodela polyrrhiza)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of ammonium ions (NH+4) and ammonium (NH3) on the growth rate of the duckweed Spirodela polyrrhiza and found that ammonium is the preferred nitrogen source of the plant but at certain levels it may become inhibitory to the plant.

Heavy metal removal in duckweed and algae ponds as a polishing step for textile wastewater treatment
Christian B. Sekomo,Christian B. Sekomo,Diederik Rousseau,Diederik Rousseau,Saleh A.A.E. Saleh,Piet N.L. Lens +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of algae and duckweed ponds as post-treatment for textile wastewater has been evaluated under the hypothesis that differing conditions such as pH, redox potential and dissolved oxygen in these ponds would lead to different heavy metal removal efficiencies.

Wastewater Treatment in Constructed Wetlands: System Design, Removal Processes, and Treatment Performance
Hans Brix
- 23 Sep 2020
TL;DR: In this paper, the possibility of achieving better treatment performance in improved designs of macrophyte-based wastewater treatment systems is discussed, and the applicability of the different macro-phyte based wastewater treatment system depends on climatic conditions, effluent quality required, wastewater characteristics, availability and price of land, conservation regulations, etc.

Use of duckweed for waste treatment and animal feed
Dudley D. Culley,Ernest A Epps +1 more
- 01 Jan 2016
TL;DR: Reviews and studies showed that aquatic plants have acceptable animal feed qualities, ability to remove nutrients from water, and high production rates, and may well serve the dual function of extracting nutrients from waste water effluents and producing animal feeds.
