“…The results of dry biomass for the T. latifolia obtained were in agreement with the average aboveground biomass range (0.3–1.8 kg DW m − 2 ) that was reported by Maddison et al [ 30 ]. Other studies reported similar aboveground biomass ranged from 0.21–0.85 kg DW m − 2 and exceeding 0.5 kg DW m − 2 of T. latifolia employed in constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment [ 33 , 58 , 59 ]. On the other hand, the values obtained in the present study are lower than the aboveground biomass of T. latifolia reported by Solano et al [ 60 ] and Toet et al [ 61 ].…”

BackgroundThis study aims to assess suitability of hydroponic technology for treatment of brewery wastewater in a hydroponic bioreactor using Typha latifolia. Triplicated hydroponic bioreactor treatment units were designed, constructed and operated at a hydraulic retention time of 5 days with different surface loadings and mean hydraulic loading rate 0.023 m3 m−2d− 1. Young T. latifolia shoots were collected in the vicinity of study site. Wastewater characteristics, plant growth and nutrient accumulation during experiment were analyzed as per APHA standard methods and nutrient removal efficiency was evaluated based on inlet and outlet values.ResultsT. latifolia established and grew well in the hydroponics under fluctuations of wastewater loads and showed a good phytoremedial capacity to remove nutrients. Significant removal efficiencies (p < 0.05) varied between 54 and 80% for Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, 42 and 65% for NH4+ -N, 47 and 58% for NO3− -N, and 51 and 70% for PO43−-P. The system improved the removal up to 29% compared to control and produced biomass of 0.61–0.86 kg dry weight (DW) m− 2. Nutrients retained were up to 21.17 g N kg− 1 DW and 2.87 g P kg− 1 DW.ConclusionThe significant nutrients reduction obtained and production of biomass led us to conclude that hydroponics technology using T. latifolia has suitability potential for treatment of brewery wastewater and similar agro-industrial wastewaters. Thus it could be considered as a promising eco-friendly option for wastewater treatment to mitigate water pollution. Integration of treatment and production of biomass needs further improvement.

“…Since the bioavailability of mineral sources is limited and they are partially absorbed by organisms, the excess is eliminated by excretion. In swine farms, wastewater-derived conventional techniques of civil and livestock waste, could be valuable for agricultural irrigation; however, HM contamination (Chardon et Since the use of contaminated irrigation water would be responsible for the distribution of large numbers of metallic ions in the environment, the removal of HMs from manure wastewaters is essential in order to improve the soil quality (Gul et Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the ability of two aquatic species, Typha latifolia (Broadleaf cattail) and Thelypteris palustris (Marsh fern), to remove Zn and Cu from contaminated livestock wastewaters, given that these species have already been used to decontaminate water and soils from metals (Chandra and Yadav, 2010;Hazra et al 2015;Manios et al 2003a, b;Salem et al 2017). Cattail is a wetland specie that can be grown under different climatic conditions such as brackish and polluted water and because of their rapid growth and easily harvesting they can be used in phytoremediation (Milam et al 2004;Ahmad et al 2017;Rodriguez-Hernandez et al 2017).…”

“…In contrast, lower zinc concentration in shoots explained the low translocation ability, which is considered as the defence mechanism of plants against metal, indicating good phyto-stabilization ability. Many studies have also reported similar values of zinc accumulation in the roots (50-350 mg kg À1 ) and shoots (15-200 mg kg À1 ) of T. latifolia (Ben Salem et al 2017).…”

This study demonstrated the successful utilization of a lab-scale baffled horizontal constructed wetland substituted with mixed organic media for zinc removal from high acidity (∼610 mg L−1 as CaCO3) sulfate-rich (∼1,300 mg L−1) wastewater. The wetland was planted with Typha latifolia. The mean zinc concentration in the influent was gradually increased from 0.56 ± 0.02 mg L−1 to 5.3 ± 0.42 mg L−1. The mean zinc concentration in the outflow was 0.22 ± 0.19 mg L−1, accounting 95% zinc removal throughout the study. However, total zinc uptake by plants was 533 mg kg−1, accounting for only 1.2% of total zinc removal and therefore, major zinc retention occurred within wetland media (83%). The overall activity and specific sulfidogenic activity decreased at the end of the study to 1.43 mg COD removed mg TVS−1 d−1 and 0.60 mg sulfate reduced mg TVS−1 d−1, respectively. Additionally, 16S rRNA sequencing revealed major dominant phyla present: Firmicutes (36%), Proteobacteria (16%), Actinobacteria (8.8%), Planctomycetes (7.8%), Chloroflexi (3.5%), Acidobacteria (1.9%) and Fibrobacteres (1.5%).
