Studies on the Abilities of Vetiveria zizanioides and Cyperus alternifolius for Pig Farm Wastewater Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vetiveria zizanioides and Cyperus alternifolius were measured for their ability to decontaminate pig farm wastewater in 50_38.5_23 cm (L_W_H) plastic boxes. These plants were grown in pig farm wastewater with CODCr at 825 mg/L, BOD5 at 500 mg/L, NH3-N at 130 mg/L and TP 23 at mg/L, C. alternifolius and V. zizanioides could cut down those index to 64%, 68%, 20% and 18% respectively by hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 4days. Statistical result showed that there were significant differences in COD, BOD and TP between treatments with plants and those without plants.

The treatment of municipal wastewater from Yazd city (center of Iran) by constructed wetland vegetated with Cyperus alternifolius was assessed. Two identical wetlands with a total working volume of 60 L and 10 cm sandy layer at the bottom were used. First wetland (W1) was control and had no Cyperus alternifolius plant. Second wetland (W2) had 100 Cyperus alternifolius shrubs with 40 cm height. ...

Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) is known to be survived under the diversesoil and water conditions. In order to study the effects of salinity stress on the seedlinggrowth of the desired species, a completely randomized design was conducted with 3replications. Seeds were sown in the salty-soil plots in the greenhouse. Salinity levels werespecified as 4 control ones including 20, 30 and 40 ...

Abstract. Information on forage quality in phenological stage could help range managers to choose suitable grazing method to achieve higher animal performance without detriment to vegetation. Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) is a non-native perennial grass that was introduced to the Iran in 2008. This plant is a multi use species that could be considered from different viewpoints. Thus, it...
