Abstract:

A continuous flow bench scale reactor was used to evaluate nutrient removal and growth characteristics of the duckweed, Lemna minor. Such a system can further an understanding of the treatment mechanisms in floating-leaved aquatic plants used for wastewater treatment as well as provide design data for pilot and full size treatment plants. Some of the results of the research are presented. (Author abstract. )
