Abstract
Emerging Pollutants (EPs), including Pharmaceuticals and Personal care products (PPCPs) (particularly antibiotics) and microplastics (MPs), have posed significant threats to the global water environment and human health due to their widespread presence and high environmental risks. Constructed wetlands (CWs), as a low-cost, eco-friendly green infrastructure, have gained increasing attention for the EPs purification, particularly over the past decade. Numerous studies have shown that CWs are capable of removing 134 types of PPCPs and various microplastics. This paper reviews the literature on the removal of EPs using CWs from 2014 to 2024. The review provides a detailed analysis of CWs types, plants and substrate selection, operational parameters, environmental factors, and the physicochemical properties of EPs. Additionally, the review elaborates on the multiple effects of plants, substrates, and microorganisms in the removal of EPs through physical, chemical, and biological processes. Furthermore, future perspectives and knowledge gaps related to CWs for EPs removal are identified, aiming to offer scientific guidance for further research and large-scale engineering applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Water Process Engineering aims to publish refereed, high-quality research papers with significant novelty and impact in all areas of the engineering of water and wastewater processing . Papers on advanced and novel treatment processes and technologies are particularly welcome. The Journal considers papers in areas such as nanotechnology and biotechnology applications in water, novel oxidation and separation processes, membrane processes (except those for desalination) , catalytic processes for the removal of water contaminants, sustainable processes, water reuse and recycling, water use and wastewater minimization, integrated/hybrid technology, process modeling of water treatment and novel treatment processes. Submissions on the subject of adsorbents, including standard measurements of adsorption kinetics and equilibrium will only be considered if there is a genuine case for novelty and contribution, for example highly novel, sustainable adsorbents and their use: papers on activated carbon-type materials derived from natural matter, or surfactant-modified clays and related minerals, would not fulfil this criterion. The Journal particularly welcomes contributions involving environmentally, economically and socially sustainable technology for water treatment, including those which are energy-efficient, with minimal or no chemical consumption, and capable of water recycling and reuse that minimizes the direct disposal of wastewater to the aquatic environment. Papers that describe novel ideas for solving issues related to water quality and availability are also welcome, as are those that show the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. The Journal will consider papers dealing with processes for various water matrices including drinking water (except desalination), domestic, urban and industrial wastewaters, in addition to their residues. It is expected that the journal will be of particular relevance to chemical and process engineers working in the field. The Journal welcomes Full Text papers, Short Communications, State-of-the-Art Reviews and Letters to Editors and Case Studies
