Domestic Wastewater Treatment Using Constructed Wetland with Para Grass Combined with Sludge Adsorption, Case Study in Vietnam: An Efficient and Alternative Way
Open Access
Abstract
The environmental pollution due to wastewater, especially domestic wastewater, is becoming more serious. Thus, this study was performed to assess the removal of pollutants by the combination of wetland technology, specifically constructed wetland (CW), with Para grass (Brachiaria mutica) together with the adsorption of red sludge. With an organic loading rate (OLR) of 120 (kg COD/ha/day), the treatment efficiency for wastewater in this study is quite high and the concentrations of parameters in the effluent were lower than the limits established by the QCVN 14:2015/BTNMT for domestic wastewater, which indicated the feasibility of this combination. These results are expected to open the possibilities of using environmentally friendly processes for wastewater treatment in urban and industrial areas.Keywords
