Constructed wetland substrates: A review on development, function mechanisms, and application in contaminants removal

Zehua Ji et al.

Summary: Constructed wetlands (CWs) are a cost-effective and efficient method for wastewater treatment, with substrates playing a crucial role in influencing performance and sustainability. There has been a growing demand for substrates to enhance CWs' ability to treat more complex contaminants from various sources. Extensive research has been conducted on different substrate materials and their characteristics to improve efficiency and sustainability of CWs.

Exploring microbial diversity and ecological function of epiphytic and surface sediment biofilm communities in a shallow tropical lake

Benjamin Manirakiza et al.

Summary: This study found differences in microbial diversity in epiphytic biofilms on water lilies and water primroses, with environmental factors serving as strong driving forces for microbial community diversity. Complex interactions such as symbiosis, parasitism, and predation among organisms in biofilms were observed, indicating the importance of substrate type and environmental factors in shaping microbial communities in tropical lacustrine ecosystems.

The individual and combined effects of polystyrene and silver nanoparticles on nitrogen transformation and bacterial communities in an agricultural soil

Keqin Jiao et al.

Summary: This study investigates the combined effects of polystyrene micro/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on nitrogen cycling and bacterial communities in soil. The results show that PS NPs alleviate the inhibition of nitrogen transformation induced by Ag NPs. PS MPs + Ag NPs treatment reduces bacterial diversity, while PS MPs/NPs + Ag NPs treatment decreases the relative abundances of nitrogen-fixing and denitrifying functional microorganisms.

Microbial functional genes influenced by short-term experimental drought across European agricultural fields

Katja Kozjek et al.

Summary: Agricultural intensification and extreme weather events can stress soil microorganisms and their functions by affecting soil organic matter degradation. Understanding microbial functional gene diversity can connect microbial communities to ecosystem functions. An agricultural experiment across Europe showed differences in functional gene diversity among regions and responses to factors like organic carbon and water content.

Enhancement of nitrogen removal and energy recovery from low C/N ratio sewage by multi-electrode electrochemical technology and tidal flow via siphon aeration

Ke Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, electrochemical technology and tidal flow method were used to enhance the denitrification process in low C/N ratio wastewater. Constructed wetland and microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) reactor with dewatered alum sludge (DAS) as substrate were also constructed to improve phosphorus removal efficiency. The results showed that TF CW-MFC had high removal efficiency for COD and TN, and could effectively reduce methane emissions. The technology has potential application value in green wastewater treatment.

Nature based solutions for winery wastewater valorisation

Ana Pascual et al.

Summary: The WETWINE project in Spain has successfully established an engineering system to valorise winery treated wastewater through a combination of HUSB reactor and constructed wetlands. After two years of monitoring, the hybrid system achieved efficient removal of suspended solids and COD, along with improved removal efficiency for nitrogen and pH.

Effect of substrate types on contaminant removals, electrochemical characteristics and microbial community in vertical flow constructed wetlands for treatment of urban sewage

Shaoyuan Bai et al.

Summary: This study revealed that coke as a substrate in vertical flow constructed wetlands can achieve higher removal rates of COD, NH4+-N and TP compared to quartz sand, primarily due to the adsorption of pollutants by the substrate and microbial degradation.

Simultaneous removal of nitrogen and dimethyl phthalate from low-carbon wastewaters by using intermittently-aerated constructed wetlands

Xin Zhao et al.

Summary: Intermittently-aerated subsurface flow constructed wetlands showed efficient removal of DMP, COD, and NH4+-N under different influent DMP concentrations, with a good fitting relationship between TN removal and DMP reduction. The decomposition of DMP in CWs generated smaller molecular fractions and intermediates that could potentially serve as carbon sources for denitrification processes. These findings contribute to a better understanding of DMP removal mechanisms and offer guidance for practical applications of CWs in treating wastewater contaminated with phthalates.

Operational modifications of a full-scale experimental vertical flow constructed wetland with effluent recirculation to optimize total nitrogen removal

Buthaina Mahfoud Al-Wahaibi et al.

Summary: A full-scale Vertical Flow Constructed Wetland (VFCW) project was implemented in Oman to provide a sustainable wastewater treatment solution. The study showed high removal rates for pollutants, but nitrogen removal still faced challenges, prompting the testing of various operational modifications to optimize treatment performance.

Cattle dung biochar-packed vertical flow constructed wetland for nutrient removal: Effect of intermittent aeration and wastewater COD/N loads on the removal process

Naveen Chand et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that intermittent aeration in VFCWs significantly improved the removal efficiency of COD, NH4+-N, NO3-N, and TP compared to non-aerated setups, while setups with biochar (BC) addition and plantation were more advantageous in nutrient removal than those without BC. Moreover, the COD/N ratio of wastewater did not have a significant impact on VFCWs with BC and intermittent aeration, indicating the effectiveness of slow adsorption and fast aerobic degradation processes.

Comprehensive evaluation of manganese oxides and iron oxides as metal substrate materials for constructed wetlands from the perspective of water quality and greenhouse effect

Shiyi Cheng et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that using manganese oxides as substrate materials in constructed wetlands can improve the removal efficiencies of COD, TN, and TP, almost completely suppress CH4 production, and reduce global warming potential, while iron oxides promote greenhouse gas emissions, making manganese oxides a better choice.
