Attenuation of emerging organic contaminants in a hybrid constructed wetland system under different hydraulic loading rates and their associated toxicological effects in wastewater
(2014-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe capacity of a hybrid constructed wetland (CW) system consisting of two vertical flow (VF) CWs working alternatively (3 m(2)), one horizontal flow (HF) CW (2 m(2)) and one surface flow (FWS) CW (2 m(2)) in series to ... -
Effect of design and operational factors on the removal of emerging organic contaminants in constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2013-12-09)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessWater of quality constitutes a scarce and essential resource for life and public health, and its sustainable management is of crucial importance. Thus, wastewater treatment, reuse and reclamation represent a key practice ... -
Emerging organic contaminant removal depending on primary treatment and operational strategy in horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands : Influence of redox
(2013-01-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis study aimed at assessing the influence of primary treatment (hydrolytic upflow sludge blanket (HUSB) reactor vs. conventional settling) and operational strategy (alternation of saturated/ unsaturated phases vs. ... -
Emerging organic contaminant removal in a full-scale hybrid constructed wetland system for wastewater treatment and reuse
(2015-07-01)
Article
Open AccessA full-scale hybrid constructed wetland (CW) system based on three stages of different wetlands configurations showed to be a very robust ecotechnology for domestic wastewater treatment and reuse in small communities. It ... -
Emerging organic contaminants in vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands : Influence of media size, loading frequency and use of active aeration
(2014-10-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFour side-by-side pilot-scale vertical flow (VF) constructed wetlands of different designs were evaluated for the removal of eight widely used emerging organic contaminants from municipal wastewater (i.e. ibuprofen, ... -
Enhancement of total nitrogen removal through effluent recirculation and fate of PPCPs in a hybrid constructed wetland system treating urban wastewater
(2017-04)
Article
Open AccessThe effect of effluent recirculation on the removal of total nitrogen (TN) and eight pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) was evaluated during 9 months in an experimental hybrid constructed wetland (CW) system ... -
Influence of hydraulic loading rate, simulated storm events and seasonality on the treatment performance of an experimental three-stage hybrid constructed wetland system
(2016-02)
Article
Open AccessAn experimental hybrid system based on an anaerobic reactor followed by three stages of different constructed wetland configurations was evaluated when operating under a high hydraulic loading rate (HLR = 0.27 m d-1, ... -
Integrated treatment of combined sewer wastewater and stormwater in a hybrid constructed wetland system in southern Spain and its further reuse
(2013-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAn integrated pilot-scale treatment system consisting of a vertical subsurface flow (317 m2), a horizontal subsurface flow (229 m2) and a free water surface (240 m2) constructed wetlands operating in series for the treatment ... -
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the environment and their removal from wastewater through constructed wetlands
(2015)
Article
Open AccessPharmaceuticals and personal care products are emerging organic contaminants that are continuously introduced into the environment due to their regular and widespread consumption by human beings. Their sources and fate in ... -
Removal of organic carbon, nitrogen, emerging contaminants and fluorescing organic matter in different constructed wetland configurations
(2018-01)
Article
Open AccessThe elimination of organic carbon, nitrogen, five emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) and fluorescence signature was evaluated in two treatment lines comprising different constructed wetland (CW) configurations: (i) ... -
Three-stage hybrid constructed wetland system for wastewater treatment and reuse in warm climate regions
(2013-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policytAn experimental hybrid constructed wetland system consisting of 3 stages of different wetland config-urations (i.e. two vertical flow beds (1.5 m2each) alternating feed-rest cycles followed by a horizontalsubsurface flow ... -
Unraveling the active microbial populations involved in nitrogen utilization in a vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland treating urban wastewater
(2017-04)
Article
Open AccessThe dynamics of the active microbial populations involved in nitrogen transformation in a vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland (VF) treating urban wastewater was assessed. The wetland (1.5 m2) operated under average ...
