“…À la sortie des deux systèmes, le pH est de 7,14 et 7,29 respectivement pour le sol planté et le sol non planté. La même constatation est effectuée par FINLAYSON et CHICK (1983) qui ont obtenu une augmentation de la moitié d'une unité pour un lit planté de Typha latifolia.…”

“…Les potentialités épuratoires des plantes aquatiques et plus particulièrement du roseau ont été mises en évidence par Seidel dès 1946 pour traiter des effluents industriels contenant des substances chimiques tels que les phénols, les chlorophénols et les métaux lourds. Depuis, cette nouvelle technologie extensive a été exploitée avec succès par plusieurs auteurs (FINLAYSON et CHICK, 1983 ;BIDDLES-TONE étal., 1991 ;BRIX, 1993...) pour le traitement de plusieurs types d'effluents (effluent de laiterie, d'abattoir, domestique, urbain...). En général, il est prouvé que les systèmes plantés sont plus efficaces que ceux non plantés (RADOUX et KEMPS, 1988 ;WATHUGALA et al, 1987).…”

SUMMARYAquatic plant-based System is increasing popular alternatives for treatment of various types of wastewater. Conventional wastewater treatment requires large capital investments and consumes large amounts of energy. While, aquatic plants are a simple and energy efficient means of removing some nitrogen and phosphorus quantities and other pollutants from wastewater. The présent study consista of testing the efficiency of an helophyte Arundo donax to treat urban effluent under an arid climate and to assess the suitability of the treated effluent for irrigation purposes.The experiment was conducted from August 1994 to September 1996. Fourth plots (capacity: 115 liters, diameter: 57 cm) were filled to depth of 5 cm and 30 cm with respectively gravel and soil (texture: 30% clay, 34% silt and 36% sand). Two plots were planted with reeds. Young shoots were taken from local and natural reed stand, cleaned, weighed and transplanted in August 1994 at a rate of 34 shoots/m 2 . Two unplanted plots served as a control. The soil used has sustained the spreading Of wastewater fore more than 60 years. It was an organic soil with a pH near neutrality. Alimentation was exclusively done by urban raw effluent with batch loads of 25 liters every 7 days. Water flowed vertically through the substratum.In order to investigate the capacity of the Systems for organic loads, phosphorus and nitrogen removal, the concentration in the inflow and outflow of each plots was determined over the whole period of experiment. At the end of experiment, the reeds biomass and nutrients analysis in plant material and soil were evaluated. M. Abbisy et L MandiThe contrat of System hydrology indicate that the rétention time of planted System was very short. It varied between few hours to only few minutes in Summer. The unpianted System become completely clogged in Winter. So, the prés-ence otArundo donax in planted System maintained sufficient porosity in order to allow water pollution for treatment and to prevent the clogging which was a problem in the unpianted one.Over the whole expérimental period, results revealed signiflcant performances of reed beds for organic load réduction. The mean élimination rates were 90% for TSS and 70% for COD. The TSS and COD élimination performance of unpianted soil was only little lower (TSS: 83% and COD: 68,6%). Removal of TSS and COD for the two Systems, planted and unpianted, didn't varied significantly from season to another (p < 0.05). TSS and COD élimination were almost entirely due to physical processes (filtration and sédimentation) associated to microbial community a...

“…Other aquatic plant based systems have been also proposed for nutrient removal using aquatic plants such as water hyacinth, Typha and Phragmites, however all of these systems have been shown to be less efficient than algal systems (Werblan et al, 1978;Wolverton, 1982;Chick, 1983 andFinlayson et al, 1987).…”

The objective of this study is to show the potential of Typha latifolia in the Purification performance of wastewater in the region of El Oued (southeast of Algeria). The pilot scale consists of two beds of plastics, filled with gravel and sand. One was planted saplings Typha latifolia at 36 stems/m 2 , the second was not planted serves as a control (witness). The results show good yields for suspended solids and organic pollution, removal rates are 96,76% for (SS) 89,92% for the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and 87, 98% for biochemical oxygen demand in 5 days (BOD 5 ). There is a clear increase in the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO). The system effectively removes nitrite (88.84%), nitrate (91.20%), and orthophosphate (93.12%).
