Pilot scale treatment of PFAS-contaminated groundwater in a subsurface flow constructed wetland–evaluating multiple plant species
Groundwater contamination by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is an emerging threat to drinking water quality, highlighting the need for effective treatment solutions. This study investigated subsurface flow constructed wetlands for treating groundwater contaminated with PFAS. The wetlands used a peat, biochar, and lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) filter substrate, planted with either tufted sedge (Carex elata), fiber hemp (Cannabis sativa Futura 75), or an intercropping of the two Salix clones S. Wilhelm and S. Loden. The experiment was conducted under field conditions in Sweden, during one growing season, using PFAS-contaminated groundwater impacted by landfill leachate. The study showed accumulation of PFAS in all plant species and the peat and biochar part of the filter substrate, with short-chain PFAS and perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs) dominating when considering the whole plants (57 % and 77 % of ƩPFAS, respectively) and long-chain PFAS and perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSAs) dominating in the peat and biochar filter substrate (77 % and 54 % of ƩPFAS, respectively). Sorption to the filter substrate was shown to be the primary mechanism for PFAS removal. The highest plant PFAS concentrations were found in leaves, followed by roots, for all species. There was a difference in the PFAS composition profile when comparing different plant tissues, with PFCAs dominating in leaves (84 % of ƩPFAS) and PFSAs dominating in roots (66 % of ƩPFAS). All plant species were determined to have an above-ground tissue/water phase concentrations >10/1 for C3-PFCA (PFBA). This was also observed for C. sativa with C4- and C7-PFCAs (PFPeA, PFOA), and C4- and C5-PFSAs (PFBS, PFPeS), for C. elata with C8-PFSA (L-PFOS), and for S. Loden with PFPeA. ∑PFAS phytoextraction potential from landfill leachate-impacted groundwater (mg/ha yr) was estimated to be 940 ± 670 for C. sativa, 390 ± 310 for S. Loden, 330 ± 160 for S. Wilhelm, and 160 ± 56 for C. elata.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
