Effectiveness of Eichhornia crassipes in nutrient removal from domestic wastewater based on its optimal growth rate

Efficiency of Eichhornia crassipes in the treatment of raw kitchen wastewater

“…It was observed that the growth in biomass obtained was 1185 g (51.92%) on day 21 for EC 2 , which is more in biomass when compared to EC 1 (48.21%). A similar study was conducted by Rezania et al [15], and Dixit et al [47] found an increase in biomass weight of 46% and 45%, respectively.…”

“…In a study conducted by Parwin and Paul [13] after 8 days of the retention time, the removal efficiency of TOC was 15.38% and 13.67% for EC and control, respectively. Rezania et al [15] found a 45% reduction of TOC in 12 days of the experiment.…”

“…The performance of EC was also evaluated for domestic wastewater collected from stabilized pond [14][15][16], raw sewage from municipal wastewater treatment plant [17,18], synthetic medium and groundwater [19], sewage from the aerated lagoon [20], raw wastewater from fish farm [21], dye wastewater [22], oily river water [23], domestic wastewater [24], dairy wastewater [25] and river water [26].…”

Vetiver and Dictyosphaerium sp. co-culture for the removal of nutrients and ecological inactivation of pathogens in swine wastewater

“…Accordingly, nutrient recovery from wastewater has received increasing attention in the field of wastewater treatment [4], [5], [6]. It has been shown that plants and microalgae are able to efficiently recover nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and heavy metals from a wide variety of wastewater types [7], [8], [9]. Nutrients in wastewater are absorbed and degraded by plants or microalgae and microorganisms, and are recovered as biomass at harvesting.…”

Evaluación del Aporte de las Plantas Acuáticas Pistia stratiotes y Eichhornia crassipes en el Tratamiento de Aguas Residuales Municipales

“…El uso de plantas acuáticas en el tratamiento de aguas residuales se ha convertido en un enfoque particular en los últimos años (Mumtaz et al, 2014;Vo et al, 2017). Las plantas acuáticas como Pistia stratiotes (lechuga de agua) y Eichhornia crassipes (jacinto de agua) han sido utilizadas para la eliminación de un amplio rango de contaminantes de las aguas residuales (Gupta et al, 2012;Rezania et al, 2014). La alta productividad de algunas plantas flotantes y el alto requerimiento nutricional de nitrógeno (N) y fosforo (P) hacen que estas especies resulten adecuadas para reducir los niveles de estos nutrientes de los efluentes (Sánchez,201 1).…”
