Treatment of pesticides with constructed wetlands
- In the following study the properties of the superabsorbent polymer Broadleaf P4 were investigated according to the aim to apply that polymer within constructed wetlands. The application of the polymer in constructed wetlands shall result in an improvement of the removal of pesticides. For that the polymer was given into lab-scale wetlands together with pumice and were compared to a control wetland, which was filled with gravel. The wetlands were running for several weeks in which the nutrient removal was recorded. The polymer was also tested according to its property to adsorb the pesticides before adding the pesticides to the wetland beds.
