Abstract The tofu preparing industry, typically done by the little businesses, can be found in almost every city in Indonesia and is dominated by industrial house stairways. The largest industry does not have a unit of processing wastewater. The wastewater focus is as yet over the edge quality norm, which messed contamination up. Constructed wetlands are affordable and reliable green technologies to diminish water contamination by utilizing plants. This study aims to know the quality of tofu industrial wastewater in Semanan, Jakarta Barat and analyze the removal of pollutants. The performance of the horizontal flow type Sub-Surface Flow constructed wetland with Typha latifolia plant. The media used were soil, sand, and gravel with a Typha latifolia plant. Testing the quality of tofu wastewater in Constructed wetland every 7 days at inlet and outlet, the sample was taken for TSS, BOD, and COD concentration. This research showed that the reactor could decrease TSS by 91.17% on day 36, a decrease of BOD 89.30% on day 15, and COD 87.86% on day 36. Those plants can produce growth fertile.

A B S T R A C THigh amount of Mercury contamination is commonly found in traditional gold mining areas. This problem might occur due to the use of amalgamation process in traditional gold extraction process by dissolving the gold-bearing rocks with mercury (Hg). The utilization of mercury in gold mining activity has contaminated the water with Hg which might lead to serious health problems. This research was carried out by discharging the Hg-contaminated wastewater to enter a system called the Sub-Surface Flow Constructed Wetland (SSF-SW). The system employed a mixture of soil and the fibers of water hyacinth as the media on which Echinodorus palaefolius L. was planted. The wastewater containing HgCl2 at 8.59 mg/L was flown. The flow rate and pH were set to 6.3 L/hour and 6-7 pH at room temperature. Samples were collected at 0; 3.5; 7; 10.5 hours every day. The SSF-CW system was continually run for 10.5 hours and 13.5hour batch. The result of this research showed that the efficiency of Hg removal reached 92.79%. The results showed that the SSF-CW offers a stable system to reduce the mercury levels as shown in the growth of the plant and the total Hg removal efficiency. Plants with Hg exposure have distinct patterns of chlorosis. Some leaves turning yellow and die, others start with new growth. In addition, the growth of Echinodorus palaefolius L. was also influenced by the amount of nutrients in the soil.Keywords: Echinodorus palaefolius L., mercury, sub-surface flow constructed wetland A B S T R A KPencemaran merkuri banyak ditemukan pada penambangan emas tradisional. Pada umumnya proses yang diterapkan dalam penambangan emas tradisional dalam ekstraksi emas adalah proses amalgamasi, yaitu dengan cara mencampur bijih emas dengan merkuri (Hg). Aktivitas penambangan dengan memanfaatkan Hg menyebabkan tercemarnya air dengan Hg yang dapat membahayakan kesehatan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara mengalirkan air limbah Hg ke dalam sistem Sub-Surface Flow Constructed Wetland (SSF-CW). Media yang digunakan berupa campuran tanah dan serat eceng gondok serta ditanami dengan Echinodorus palaefolius L. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengalirkan air limbah HgCl2 berkonsentrasi 8,59 mg/L. Percobaan menggunakan laju alir 6,3 L/jam dengan pH sekitar 6-7 pada suhu ruangan. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan pada jam ke 0; 3,5; 7 dan 10,5 pada setiap harinya. Operasi sistem SSF-CW dijalankan 10,5 jam kontinu dan 13,5 jam batch. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan efisiensi penurunan Hg sebesar 92,79%. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem SSF-CW cukup stabil. Kestabilan sistem SSF-CW dalam menurunkan kadar Hg dapat dilihat dari pertumbuhan tanaman dan total penurunan yang diperoleh. Tanaman yang terpapar Hg terlihat bercak klorosis. Beberapa daun menguning dan mati, sebagian lain tumbuh tunas baru. Pertumbuhaan Echinodorus palaefolius L. tidak lepas dari pengaruh unsur hara yang terdapat di dalam tanah.Kata kunci: Echinodorus palaefolius L., merkuri, sub-surface flow constructed wetland

The processes of sediment formation and their biogeochemical properties were studied in2005-2007 at the experimental constructed wetland site ("Bioplato") designed for treatment ofdomestic effluents in Ukraine, nearby the city of Kharkiv. The constructed wetland consists ofthree units: one with vertical filtration applying fine gravel (0.5 m in depth) and coarse sand(0.3 111) as filtering media, one with horizontal filtration applying middle sand (0,8 m) as afiltering medium, and one surface flow unit with natural wetland soil applied, The site alsoincludes a septic tank and a small sludge-drying field. The constructed wetland with acapacity of 50 1113 of treated domestic wastewater per day was established in 1998 and sincethen it has been operated continuously until now. Macrophytes were planted in I 998-200 I,and recently the reed (Phragmites australis), cattail (Typha latifolia), and a number of sedgespecies (Carex Jpp.) dominate over the rest of ca. 30 plant species with average cover of 85-90%. Treatment efficiency of 90-95% of BOD5 and suspended solids removal, as well as 98-99% of removal of pathogenic microorganisms allows discharging the treated wastewater intoadjacent artificial lake, Sludge was sampled at each unit followed with standard laboratoryanalyses of its main characteristics: total organic carbon (TOC), total nutrients (N, P),contents of trace elements, abundance of pathogenic microorganisms, and general toxicity.The results of analyses confirmed that the top layer of sludge from each unit of the assessedconstructed wetland site could be used as a source of fertilizers for grain and leguminouscrops.

AbstractThe purification of the primary treated domestic sewage was performed in the present study through the horizontal sub-surface flow constructed wetland (CW) of 10 × 3.5 m dimension. The study was performed using three setups of CW 1 (Unplanted CW), CW 2 (CW planted with macrophyte Typha latifolia), and CW 3 (CW planted with two species of macrophyte T. latifolia and Commelina benghalensis). The purification experiments were performed by converting one type of CW into the other form sequentially, i.e., CW 1 was built first and after the experiments, it was converted into CW 2 and then CW 3. The CW was filled with a layer of coarse and fine gravel of 70 cm depth as filter media in 1:2 ratio. Each set of wetland was operated for 3 months (12 wk) during which the treatment performance of wetlands for basic physicochemical parameters was evaluated. The CW was operated in continuous mode at an average hydraulic loading rate of 250 L h− 1 and the treated effluent was analysed twice every week at four different sampling points having hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 12, 24, 36 and 48 h for important sewage quality parameters All the three setups of CW were able to clean the primary treated sewage significantly. Among the three sets of wetlands used, CW 3 was the best performer removing 79, 77, 79, 79, and 78% of biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, nitrate, ammonia, and phosphate respectively in 48 h HRT. Among the three sets of wetlands, the CW 3 removed the highest percent of total coliforms, fecal coliforms, and E. coli as 64, 61 and 52% respectively.

The enhancement of water quality by constructed wetland systems is increasingly being employed throughout the world. For this study two treatment schemes consisting of an Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor followed by either subsurface flow (SSF) or free surface flow (FSF) constructed wetlands have been investigated. The common macrophyte in Egypt Typha latifolia (cattail) was used at a planting density of three rhizomes/m2. To evaluate the role of plants in the treatment process, an unplanted gravel bed identical to the SSF unit was operated as control. During the study period, the wetlands were fed with the UASB effluent at an organic loading rate ranging from 17.3 to 46.8 kg BOD5/ha·d (55.1 to 134.6 kgCOD/ha·d). Effectiveness of the system for the removal of key constituents (COD, BOD, TSS, nutrients and FC) has been investigated. The results showed that, the level of CODtot, and TSS in the final effluent of SSF was lower than that of FWS. Subsurface flow wetland has demonstrated higher overall efficiency than the unplanted control. FC reduction reached 4 log units. Further studies are on-going to optimize the wetland design under local environmental conditions.

AbstractToday’s citizens are expected to use evidence, frequently presented in the media, to inform decisions about health, behavior, and public policy. However, science misinformation is ubiquitous in the media, making it difficult to apply research appropriately. Across two experiments, we addressed how anecdotes and prior beliefs impact readers’ ability to both identify flawed science and make appropriate decisions based on flawed science in media articles. Each article described the results of flawed research on one of four educational interventions to improve learning (Experiment 1 included articles about having a tidy classroom and exercising while learning; Experiment 2 included articles about using virtual/augmented reality and napping at school). Experiment 1 tested the impact of a single anecdote and found no significant effect on either participants’ evidence evaluations or decisions to implement the learning interventions. However, participants were more likely to adopt the more plausible intervention (tidy classroom) despite identifying that it was unsupported by the evidence, suggesting effects of prior beliefs. In Experiment 2, we tested whether this intervention effect was driven by differences in beliefs about intervention plausibility and included two additional interventions (virtual reality = high plausible, napping = low plausible). We again found that participants were more likely to implement high plausible than low plausible interventions, and that evidence quality was underweighed as a factor in these decisions. Together, these studies suggest that evidence-based decisions are more strongly determined by prior beliefs than beliefs about the quality of evidence itself.
