Abstract:

This study aims to evaluate the capacity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for the improvement of CWs' treatment performance regarding the single and complex heavy metals removal from wastewater. Methodology: Serval vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands (CWs) will be established at the campus of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague. The experimental device consisted of the innovative KG-System (PVC) pipes, substrate, and water outlet. The dimensions of each system are 15× 55 cm (diameter ×Height). Each CW will be filled with 10 cm gravel (4-5cm) and a 35 cm mixture of sand will be used as substrates. Iris pseudacorus will be selected as an experimental plant. AMF inoculum will be Rhizophagus irregulars. Single and complex heavy metals will be added into the artificial wastewater to be treated in those CWs.
