Assessment of Ornamental Plant Ruellia simplex and Bio-Adsorbent for Removal of Amoxicillin and Ciprofloxacin ? A Preliminary Test for Constructed Wetlands

One of the procedures that helps remove pharmaceuticals (Phs) from wastewater in Constructed Wetlands (CWs) is phytoremediation. Using Ruellia simplex, the main emphasis of this study is on the function of plants and substrates in the removal mechanism independently from aqueous solution. Even in an...
