Abstract

Abstract: To solve the yellow colorization in water caused by iron ion, we evaluated the remediation performances of six aquatic plant species (Hygroryza aristata, Myriophyllum verticillatum, Hydrocotyle verticillata, Jussiaea stipulacea, Pistia stratiotes and Rotala rotundifolia) using hydroponic experiment. Effects of iron concentration, pH, plant biomass on iron removal were investigated, and the intensification of removing iron incurred by aeration was also discussed. Results showed that all the examined plant species could improve both divalent iron and total iron removal, but with significant difference in their performance. Divalent iron concentrations were decreased by H. aristata and H. verticillata from 5.0 mg·L^-1 to 0.23 and 0.26 mg·L^-1 within 24 h, respectively, meeting the standard of supplementary items for the drinking water and surface water sources (divalent iron concentration ≤0.3 mg·L^-1), while total iron concentrations declined to 0.84 and 1.21 mg·L^-1 with removal efficiency of 83.2% and 75.8%, respectively. Concentrations of divalent iron and total iron of plant treatment plots at pH 5, 6, 7, 8 were not significantly different, with removal efficiency of divalent iron and total iron being among 95.4%-98.4% and 92.2%-94.6%, separately. When initial divalent iron concentration was less than 5.0 mg·L^-1, removal efficiency of divalent iron and total iron increased with the increases of divalent iron concentration. The growth of H. aristata was inhibited at divalent iron concentration of 10.0 mg·L^-1. Total iron removal was not stable during the trial. Removal efficiency of plant treatment rose only by 7.0% compared with the control, which was much lower than other concentration treatments. The divalent iron concentration was decreased to < 0.3 mg·L^-1 in 24 h at plant biomass >300 g, with no difference of removal efficiency among biomass treatments. Both intermittent and continuous aeration enhanced iron removal by H. aristata, but continuous aeration was more favorable for the removal of total iron due to stabilization.
