Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is a vital nutrient for the ecosystems and its excess in wastewater streams leads to some environmental issues such as extensive algae growth (eutrophication). Phytoremediation is a green technology that is based on the combined actions of plants and their associated microbial groups to remove and transfer the toxic compounds in surface water, groundwater and soil. Aquatic plants are widely used for the remediation of contaminated rivers, eutrophic lakes, and other water bodies. In the past three decades, free-floating, submerged, emergent macrophytes and microalgae species have been used for P removal in aquatic plant-based systems such as constructed wetlands (CWs). This paper reviews the recent studies on the potential of aquatic plants such as free-floating, submerged, and emergent plants, and also microalgae for removal of P in different types of wastewaters. Several parameters such as plant species, hydraulic retention time, temperature, type of CWs, effluent concentration, and seasonal changes have effects on P removal. Based on the findings, some of the species such as Azolla and water hyacinth had the highest uptake ability up to 90% while algae species such as Chlorella showed about 70% of P removal. In addition, the mixed culture of aquatic plants can increase P removal if the interaction of the species is considered before cultivation in CWs.
