Abstract
Three pilot-scale gravity-filters, with different filter media, were constructed in order to provide additional treatment of the effluent of a pilot-scale Vertical Flow Constructed Wetland (VFCW). Two filters contained natural zeolite with respective residence times (RT) of 1 (Z1) and 2 (Z2) days, and one filter was filled with bauxite with a RT of 1 day (B1). Each filter treated 10 L from the wetland effluent. Water samples were analyzed immediately, after collection, in the laboratory for organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus constituents. Results show that the presence of zeolite and bauxite filters at the effluent of constructed wetlands enhances significantly the treatment capacity and increases substantially the pollutant removal rates.
