Different Constructed Wetland Substrates and their Applications

Abstract:

In recent years, constructed wetland technology as an alternative to conventional sewage treatment technology process has been widely used, industrial waste, agricultural waste, non-point source pollution control and reconstruction wetlands. Because the technology can remove organic pollutants and nitrogen and phosphorus and to beautify the environment has become widely accepted, the goal of this work was to provide different constructed wetland substrates and their applications. This study was designed to determine differences in the ability of different types of constructed wetland substrates.
