摘要
The presence of toxic cadmium ions in the wastewater resulted from industrial sector forms the critical issue for public health and ecosystem. This study determines the ability of four vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands units in the treatment of simulated wastewater laden with cadmium ions. This was achieved through using sewage sludge byproduct as alternative for the traditional sand to be substrate for aforementioned units in order to satisfy the sustainable concepts; however, Canna indica and Typha domingensis can apply to enhance the cadmium removal. The performance of constructed wetlands has been evaluated through monitoring of the pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, and concentrations of cadmium (Cd) in the effluents for retention time (0.5–120 h) and metal concentration (5–40 mg/L). The results demonstrated that the Cd removal percentage was exceeded 82% beyond 5 days and for concentration of 5 mg/L; however, this percentage was decreased with smaller retention time and higher metal concentration. The Grau second-order kinetic model accurately simulated the measurements of effluent Cd concentrations as a function of retention times. The FT-IR analysis indicated the existence of certain functional groups capable of enhancing the Cd removal. The treated wastewater's pH, DO, temperature, total dissolved solids (TDS), and electrical conductivity (EC) all meet the requirements for irrigation water. © 2023
