Role of root surface iron plaque in phosphorous removal from wastewater by wetland plants

The P removal efficiency with two levels of P in inflow by two lab-scale wetland systems with and without iron plaque on Typhaangustifolia plant roots and the mechanism of P removal in sewage by iron plaque were studied through the P contents in the iron plaque, the plant roots and shoots. The resul...

description The P removal efficiency with two levels of P in inflow by two lab-scale wetland systems with and without iron plaque on Typhaangustifolia plant roots and the mechanism of P removal in sewage by iron plaque were studied through the P contents in the iron plaque, the plant roots and shoots. The results showed that with the lower P level, the mean removal efficiency of P were 85% and 55% with and without iron plaque, respectively, and with the higher P level, the removal efficiency of P were 76% and 1.7% during the first 12 days of the system application, respectively. The removal efficiency of P in the system with iron plaque was higher than the system without iron plaque. The P content on iron plaque was lower after the experiment, comparing the beginning of the experiment. The decrement of P adsorbed on the iron plaque was 51%, 55% and 23%, 27% in the direction of water flow when the inflow was treated with low and high level of P, respectively. Simultaneously, the amount of P accumulated in the plant roots and shoots was more than that of the beginning stage, in the direction of water flow which increased by 31%, 16% and 28%, 25% in the plant roots, respectively, and in plant shoots increased by 65%, 65% and 73%, 73%, respectively, with low and high level of P inflow. The accumulated amount of P absorbed in the plant roots and shoots were increased by iron plaque. The results suggest that the iron plaque on root surface of the wetland plant plays an important role in accelerating P uptake efficiency by the plants and P removal efficiency in the wastewater.
