Integrated activated carbon adsorption and phytoremediation for sustainable domestic wastewater treatment

Eichhornia crassipes, Untreated, pollutants, removal efficiencies, combinedAbstract
Untreated domestic wastewater is a major environmental concern, particularly in urban areas where rapid population growth has outpaced wastewater management infrastructure. This study investigates the integration of activated carbon adsorption and phytoremediation using water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) for effective and sustainable wastewater treatment. Activated carbon, with its high adsorption capacity, rapidly removed pollutants, achieving efficiencies of 66.5% for BOD and 69% for COD at a dose of 50 g/L. Phytoremediation provided gradual pollutant reduction over 28 days, reaching 40% for BOD and 46% for COD. The integrated system combined the rapid effectiveness of activated carbon with the long-term sustainability of phytoremediation, achieving cumulative removal efficiencies of 79.9% for BOD and 83.26% for COD. This hybrid approach aligns with sustainable development goals by leveraging natural processes and reducing operational costs. The results highlight its potential for scalable applications in resource-limited regions, offering an innovative solution for domestic wastewater management.
