In this study, three different two-stage hybrid ecological wastewater treatment systems (HEWTS) with combinations of horizontal flow (HF) constructed wetlands (CWs), vertical flow (VF) CWs and stabilization ponds (SP) were evaluated for the removal of Organic-N, NH4 + , NO3 − , Total N, Total P, Total Coliforms (TCol) and Escherichia Coli, BOD, COD and TSS. The overall goal of the study was nov...

Many pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are commonly found in biosolids and effluents from wastewater treatment plants. Land application of these biosolids and the reclamation of treated wastewater can transfer those PPCPs into the terrestrial and aquatic environments, giving rise to potential accumulation in plants. In this work, a greenhouse experiment was used to study the up...

The increasing interest towards climate change, water and energy saving, and soil protection has led the research community to consider non-conventional water as a sustainable source for irrigation of energy crops. Vegetation filter systems are considered a reliable technique for sustainable biomass cultivation, enabling the use of reclaimed wastewater as water and nutrients sources during irri...

with the development of the wastewater treatment plants and the increase in volume of treated wastewaters in our country, it is necessary to use treated wastewater wisely. landscape irrigation and agriculture applications considered as a significant scope for the treated wastewater. in this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of these applications are investigated and the importance of the ...

management of unconventional water management in agricultural lands reduces environmental risks and increases its productivity. the purpose of this study was evaluating and comparing the effect of wastewater, saltwater and brackish water on some soil physical and chemical properties. for this purpose, five study sites including control area, irrigation with saltwater, brackish water wastewater ...

The aim of this experimental study is to assess if urban wastewater treated by ten different greenhouse-based sustainable wetland systems can be recycled to irrigate Capsicum annuum L. (Sweet Pepper; California Wonder) commercially grown either in compost or sand within a laboratory environment. The design variables were aggregate diameter, contact time, resting time and chemical oxygen demand....

Hospital wastewater contains pathogenic agents and hazardous compounds; so, it will cause many risks on environmental and human health of different communities. The aim of this research was to investigate the efficiency of hospital wastewater treatment plant in north of Iran. This cross-sectional descriptive research was done on four hospital wastewater treatment plant in north of Iran during 2...

Distillery effluent discharged as wastewater contains various toxic chemicals that can contaminate water & soil and may affect the common crops by using this water for agriculture irrigation. A laboratory work was undertaken to assess the co-relation between treated distillery effluent concentration and seed germination by using different concentration of distillery effluent like 0%, 25%, 50%, ...
