Leachate is one of the major problems in landfill since it contained high levels of organic and inorganic matters. As it was highly contaminated, leachate could not be discharged directly into the surface water bodies. Constructed wetlands are highly efficient and low-cost alternative treatment systems for treating leachate. The main purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of horizontal subsurface flow system (HSSF) and vertical subsurface flow system (VSSF) in the treatment of COD, nutrients (NH3-N and PO4-P) and heavy metals (Fe and Mn) present in landfill leachate by the use of constructed wetland systems. The amount of nutrient and heavy metals uptake by the plant (Limnocharis flava), and the amount of heavy metals retained in the soil media was also investigated. A laboratory-scale study was conducted on subsurface flow constructed wetland systems operated in vertical and horizontal mode. Each system comprises of one planted system and one control system. The planted systems namely HP and VP were planted with Limnocharis flava, while the control systems namely HC and VC were left unplanted. The systems operated identically at a flow rate of 0.029 m3/d and hydraulic retention times of 24.1 hours and 19.7 hours in HSSF and VSSF systems, respectively. Concentration based on overall removal efficiencies for VC, VP, HC and HP were COD > 93%, NH3–N > 98%, PO4–P, > 98%, Fe > 91%, and Mn > 94%, respectively. As a conclusion, higher removal performance and accumulation was observed in the HSSF system than that of VSSF system for all parameters observed. 2012-06-02T01:38:15Z 2012-06-02T01:38:15Z 2010-04 Learning Object http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/19577 en Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) School of Environmental Engineering |
