Hydroponic root mats for wastewater treatment - a review
Original language description
Hydroponic root mats (HRMs) are ecotechnological wastewater treatment systems where aquatic vegetation forms buoyant filters by their dense interwoven roots and rhizomes,sometimes supported by rafts or other floating materials. A preferential hydraulic flow is created in thewater zone between the plant root mat and the bottom of the treatment system. When the mat touches the bottom of the water body, such systems can also function as HRM filter i.e. the hydraulic flow passes directly through the root zone.HRMs have been used forthe treatment of various types of polluted water, including domesticwastewater agricultural effluents and polluted river,lake, stormwater and groundwater and even acid mine drainage. This article provides an overview on the concept of applying floating HRM and non-floating HRM filters for wastewater treatment. Exemplary performance data are presented, and the advantages and disadvantages of this technology are discussed in comparison to those of ponds, free-floating plant an
