APPLICATION OF ZEOLITE IN CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS FOR TREATMENT OF AGRICULTURAL WASTEWATER

<p dir="ltr">This paper explores an innovative, multi-phase approach to enhancing agricultural wastewater treatment through constructed wetlands, targeting the reduction of pollutants. In addition to the necessity of using readily available, plentiful materials and the requirement to substitute sustainable compounds derived from renewable resources for chemicals derived from fossil fuels. To improve filtration and adsorption, all wetland beds are layered with different materials like, biochar and zeolite as an environmental friendly material and plant with various wetland plants. Over the course of the project, progressively complex treatments are introduced in different phases to maximise pollutant reduction. This paper intends to create optimised constructed wetlands for agricultural wastewater reclamation by combining natural and engineered treatment strategies, ultimately supporting sustainable green infrastructure solutions and assess the impact of Zeolite in wastewater treatment. The results will offer important insights into how artificial wetlands can improve water quality by focusing on a variety of pollutants, providing a useful, environmentally responsible method of managing wastewater in agricultural settings, the result shows using Zeolite in constructed wetlands is highly effective for reduction of heavy metals.</p>
