Zinc removal from highly acidic and sulfate-rich wastewater in horizontal sub-surface constructed wetland
This study demonstrated the successful use of a laboratory-scale baffled horizontal constructed wetland substituted with mixed organic media for zinc removal from high acidity (∼610 mg L−1 as CaCO3), sulfate-rich (∼1,300 mg L−1) wastewater. The wetland was planted with Typha latifolia. The mean zinc...
