Abstract
We examined the chemical contents of Cyperusalternifolius growing in surface flow constructed wetlands (SFCW) used in the treatment of partially treated wastewater. The (SFCW) wetland is composed of three cells in series of which two are open water surfaces and one is a channel bed planted with Cyperusalternifolius was designed and constructed. Four different mixtures of treated wastewater TWW effluent and the primary TWW effluent were used under different hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 3, 6, 9, and 12 days within the (SFCW) wetland. Higher accumulation of nitrogen N was detected in the plant’s parts in an order magnitude of leaves>stem>rhizome>root. Pronounced increase in potassium K concentration at the rhizome and stem was detected, while high amount of manganese Mn was accumulated in leaves. Roots and rhizomes were the main sinks for zinc Zn and phosphorus P

Constructed free water surface (SFCW) wetlands are low-cost artificial wastewater treatment technology composed of one or more treatment cells in a building design Davis (1995). It is known as surface flow wetlands closely mimicking natural wetlands in appearance as they comprise aquatic plants that are rooted in a soil layer on the bottom of the wetland and water flows through the leaves and stems of plants Vymazal (2001)
Vegetation plays a significant role in constructed wetlands, especially on nitrogen and phosphorus removal
Summary
Constructed free water surface (SFCW) wetlands are low-cost artificial wastewater treatment technology composed of one or more treatment cells in a building design Davis (1995). Wetland plants create a good environment that supports a wide range of physical, chemical, and microbial processes. These processes separately and in combination remove total suspended solids (TSS), reduce the. Growing in Surface Flow Constructed Wetland (SFCW) For Wastewater Treatment. Chemical Analysis of Macrophyte (Cyperusalternifolius) Growing in Surface Flow Constructed Wetland (SFCW) For Wastewater Treatment attenuate organisms of public health significance Hammer (2020). In this research chemical analysis of SFCW Wetland macrophyte (Cyperus alternifolius) was examined
