Purification Effects of Six Aquatic Plants and Their Combinations on Phosphorus in Simulated Sewage
[Objective] According to serious water pollution in rivers and lakes
six species of aquatic plants were selected for treatment of polluted water and water purification testing
in order to provide a basis for aquatic plant treatment in polluted water.[Methods] Six kinds of ornamental aquatic plants were chosen:Acorus calamus
Canna indica
Pistia stratiotes
Eichhornia crassipes
Ceratophyllum demersum
and Myriophyllum spicatum. Static hydroponics were used for the plants
in combination with different concentrations of phosphorus to simulate the effects of total phosphorus in the sewage purification.[Results] E. crassipes was found to be the best for removal of high (2 mg/L) and medium(0.5 mg/L) concentrations of total phosphorus in the water
with removal rates of 95.9% and 93.4%
respectively. C. demersum demonstrated the highest removal efficiency in the water with a low concentration (0.1 mg/L) of phosphorus
with a removal rate of total phosphorus of 91.1%. The combination of aquatic plants that was best for the removal of total phosphorus with a high concentration of phosphorus was C. demersum + A. calamus + E. crassipes
with a removal rate of 96.0%. In water with a medium concentration of phosphorus
A. calamus + E. crassipes + M. spicatum was the best for the removal of total phosphorus
with a removal rate of 98.8%. In water with low concentrations of phosphorus the best combination for total phosphorous removal was A. calamus + P. Stratiotes + M. spicatum
with a removal rate of 94.3%.[Conclusion] All the six aquatic plants have a specific total phosphorus removal rates
and the optimal allocation of the number
area
time and combination of aquatic plants can be used for the purification of polluted water.
