Treatment of leachate sample from Kok Bedollah dumpsite using Scirpus Validus

Phytoremediation is well established in treatment method to overcome the pollution in water, air and soil. Therefore, the alternative remediation can make cost-effective and green. Nowadays, phytoremediation treatment can use any significant plant either using trees or grassland. The mechanisms such rhizofiltration, phytoextraction, phytostabilization, phytovolatilization and phtodegradation are discussed. Ex-situ treatment are the method of application are described in this treatment. Scirpus validus, grass-like plant is the plant from scirpus family is used for this treatment in order to measure the parameter for wastewater leachate. This plant is a fresh water plant where it can be found at wetland, shallow water, lake side and wet meadows. For this aims, concetration of physicochemical parameter of wastewater (COD, BOD5 and AN) are determined in raw leachate and th reduction rate of COD, BOD5 and AN concentration after being treated with scirpus validus. This experiment is conducted for 15 days and the removal efficiency are analysed. This calculation of the removal efficiency shows that 11.20% of rmoving efficiency for COD, 30.90% for BOD5 and 8.70% for AN. All of this parameters shows the reduction in concentration after being treated with scirpus validus.
