Removal efficiency of zinc and copper in synthetic wastewater using constructed wetland

Constructed wetland has been widely used to provide “natural” ecotechnological treatment solutions for industrial wastewater. Heavy metals such as zinc and copper can cause serious health problem to human and wildlife. The objective of this research is to determine the removal efficiency of zinc and...

Sanitary engineering Constructed wetland has been widely used to provide “natural” ecotechnological treatment solutions for industrial wastewater.

The scopes of these studies are to study the removal efficiency of zinc and copper as the quantities of plant are increased and to study the effect of pH change in constructed wetland.
