“…2) and loads (Table 2) over initials. Nitrification occurred mainly at the second half of the trial, favored by the presence of S. intermedia (Basílico et al 2013). Removal of ammonium nitrogen and lower pH resulted in lower ammonia concentrations and hence ammonia volatilization.…”

“…This wastewater is poured into La Choza stream (34°39′ 48.64″ S, 58°56′ 44.43″ W, district of General Rodriguez, Buenos Aires) by a poultry industry through an open channel. The effluent was characterized by Basílico et al (2013). It has a slightly alkaline pH (7.48 ± 0.40), electrical conductivity (EC) of 1.33 ± 0.04 mS/cm, low dissolved oxygen content (OD = 0.4 ± 0.8 mg/l), a high load of organic matter (BOD5 = 197 ± 19 mg/l), and high concentrations of total suspended solids (TSS = 198 ± 39 mg/l), ammonium nitrogen (NH 4 + -N = 21.27 ± 4.36 mg/l), SRP (3.5 ± 1.0 mg/l), total phosphorus (TP = 5.8 ± 0.9 mg/l), and total organic carbon (TOC = 121 ± 41 mg/l) compared to concentrations found in the receiving water body (Basílico et al 2013).…”

“…This is a two-step sequencing biological oxidation process consisting in (1) the oxidation of ammonium to nitrite, carried out by ammoniumoxidizing bacteria (AOB), and (2) the following oxidation of nitrite to nitrate, carried out by nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) (Ge et al 2015). Basílico et al (2013) and Finnegan et al (2009) observed a rapid conversion of ammonium to nitrite and nitrate in static systems treatment and continuous flow, respectively. Otherwise, the concentration of phosphorus is the result of a balance between the dissolved fraction (soluble reactive phosphorus, SRP) and the adsorbed phosphorus to the sediments, which in relative terms is much higher (Lewis and Wang 1997).…”

“…Spirodela polyrrhiza has been used, for example, in phytoremediation and nutrient recovery experiences (Xu and Shen 2011). The species Spirodela intermedia has been little studied; it is distributed in South and Central America (Mazzeo 1993), in particular, in water bodies of the Pampas (Argentina) (Feijoó and Lombardo 2007) where it was selected as a potential candidate for the remediation of effluents from the poultry industry (Basílico et al 2013).…”

Industrial production of poultry meat is associated with indirect environmental impacts such as contributing to climate change and deforestation and other direct impacts such as the deterioration of the quality of surface waters. Poultry industry effluents are rich in organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus; nutrients can be removed from wastewater through the use of macrophytes and periphyton. An essay in mesocosms with poultry industry wastewater recirculation was developed in the presence and absence of a native macrophyte Spirodela intermedia and periphyton from a lowland stream (La Choza stream, Buenos Aires) where the effluent is poured. The diffusion of O 2 , increased by water recirculation, had the effect of increasing the concentration of dissolved oxygen in wastewater. The presence of S. intermedia and algae periphyton significantly contributed to the removal rates (%) of solids (69.7 ± 3.9), ammonium nitrogen (84.0 ± 3.4), and total phosphorus (38.1 ± 1.8) from residual water and favored nitrification. The dominance of Bacillariophyceae on other groups of algae of periphyton and the low representation of Euglenophyceae indicated an advanced stage of the effluent treatment process at the end of the assay.

“…Different confi gurations of microorganisms were used for different water quality levels. In addition, during the process the change in water quality will inhibit the biological treatment effect [26][27][28][29]. In-situ remediation processes, for example ecological techniques including the use of aquatic plants, has been established for the bioremediation of polluted surface water.…”

Treatment of agro‐industrial effluents can be carried out via phytoremediation with mono‐ or multi‐specific macrophyte crops. A 6 day phytoremediation assay was performed in mesocosms with continuous recirculation of wastewater from a poultry industry with the macrophytes Lemna gibba and/or Hydrocotyle ranunculoides. The plant effects over removal of nutrients (N, P and C), fecal contamination indicators (total coliforms and Escherichia coli) and the genotoxicity of wastewater by the Allium cepa test were evaluated. A decrease by about 97.6% of total coliforms and E. coli, without significant differences between treatments was observed. The highest removal rates of ammonium (77.9%), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (77.9%), soluble reactive phosphorus (47.6%), total phosphorus (60.6%), and particulate organic carbon (82.1%) were observed in mesocosms with L. gibba + H. ranunculoides, although there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) with respect to the monospecific culture of L. gibba. Lower rates of nutrients removal were observed in monospecific cultures of H. ranunculoides. Moreover, the use of both species meant a reduction of the genotoxicity of wastewater, with no chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei in meristematic root cells of A. cepa. The obtained results confirm the benefits of the joint use of H. ranunculoides and L. gibba for phytoremediation of wastewater from the poultry industry, being preferable to the use of monospecific crops.
