Integration of Phytogreen for Heavy Metal Removal from Wastewater

Although the oxidation pond process for the treatment of wastewater has been widely studied and commercial application has already been recognized, the integration of the phytogreen system has yet to be studied. This work was focused on investigating the improvement in the conventional oxidation pon...
