“…Manipulation of dense mats of free-floating plants has been conducted in an attempt to remove suspended solids and nutrients from artificial systems (e.g. from sewage or industrial runoff, Dellarossa et al, 2001), as well as to complement other restoration measures (e.g. Lake Rodo ´, Uruguay, Rodrı ´guez- Gallego et al, 2004).…”

“…According to a study in Brazilian tropical constructed wetlands, the removal of TP and TN from effluents averaged 50%-80% efficiency depending on the climatic period (Lautenschlager, 2001;Travaini-Lima & Sipaúba-Tavares, 2012). The efficiency of E. crassipes in removing nutrients from different systems has been demonstrated (Patel, 2012;Zhang et al, 2019), including sewage treatment systems (Dellarossa et al, 2001;Mishra & Maiti, 2017). In constructed wetlands, macrophytes and periphyton are considered efficient in removing nutrients from effluents (Vymazal, 2007;Gu & Dreschel, 2008;Sutherland & Craggs, 2017).…”

Aim We evaluated the periphyton on artificial substrate in the treated sewage effluent, effluent patch, inside and after the macrophyte stand in a shallow hypereutrophic reservoir. Specifically, we investigated the relationship between N and P contents and algal biomass in the periphyton with N and P availability, focusing on nutrient retention. Methods Periphyton sampling was performed at the effluent inlet, effluent path, inside, and two sites after macrophyte stand. Periphyton sampling was performed after 30 days of colonization. Abiotic variables were determined in the sewage effluent and in the reservoir water. Results Biomass and N and P contents in the periphyton were significantly different among sampling sites. The highest nutrient concentrations were found in the sampling sites with effluent. The highest periphyton chlorophyll-a were found inside and after the macrophyte stand, while N and P contents were the highest in the effluent inlet and effluent. Conclusions In conclusion, N and P contents in the periphyton were associated with N and P availability, evidencing the ability of nutrient retention of the community. Our findings suggest that periphyton on artificial substrate can as a potential tool for removing N and P from the effluent from the sewage treatment system, contributing to minimizing the nutrient load discharged in a shallow reservoir.

Studies on removal of nutrients from domestic wastewater using water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pista stratiotes) were conducted. The plants were grown in 68 L of wastewater with 21‐day retention period in fiber‐glass tanks with another similar tank as control. Eichhornia crassipes performed better than P. stratiotes in reducing the concentrations of nitrate‐nitrogen and ortho‐phosphates while P. stratiotes performed better than E. crassipes in reducing the concentrations of ammoniacal‐nitrogen (NH4‐N) and nitrite‐nitrogen. On average, E. crassipes reduced the NH4‐N concentration by 72%, P. stratiotes reduced the concentration by 83% and the concentration in the control was reduced by 95%. On average, E. crassipes reduced the phosphate concentration by 55%, P. stratiotes reduced the concentration by 60% and the concentration in the control increased by 28%. Algae significantly reduced the concentration of NH4‐N.
