Macrophytes' Performance in Floating Treatment Wetlands for the Remediation of Ciprofloxacin-Contaminated Water
CLEAN-SOIL AIR WATER(2023)
摘要
The presence of trace antibiotics in domestic and industrial effluents poses a risk of toxicity to fauna and flora. The application of floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) is a low-cost and sustainable approach to remediate wastewater. In this study, the performance of different macrophytes vegetated in FTWs for the remediation of ciprofloxacin (CIP)-contaminated water is investigated. Six macrophytes, Brachia mutica, Typha domingensis, Phragmites australis, Canna indica, Cyperus laevigatus, and Leptochloa fusca, are vegetated in FTWs for the removal of CIP (50 mg L-1) from water. The FTWs show the potential to remove 30-43.58 mg L-1 CIP from water in 28 days. They also reduce the chemical oxygen demand (118-138 mg L-1) and biochemical oxygen demand (35-45 mg L-1) of water. Among the macrophytes, C. indica removes maximum (43.58 mg L-1) and T. domingensis minimum (30 mg L-1) CIP. Canna indica and T. domingensis exhibit the maximum and minimum increase (30% and 12% of dry biomass) in growth, respectively. This study reveals that the FTWs vegetated with different plant species exhibit varying performances in removing CIP from water. This investigation is a step forward toward sustainable bioremediation of water contaminated with antibiotics.
