Treating wastewater in constructed wetlands

Article Abstract:

An innovative research outfit at the TVA Center in Muscle Shoals, A, is studying the intricacies of the effectiveness of wetlands. Data gathered from the research will enable experts to apply this particular approach to other uses. The study includes processes of filtration and purification in cells to meet domestic quality criteria. Plants are then introduced into the cells to see if they can control toxicity in wastewaters. The information coming from plant observations will be an important foundation to comprehending processes undergone by contaminants and in drafting effective control techniques for removal of impurities.
