A
constructedwetland is an artificial wetland created for the purpose of treating anthropogenic discharge such asmunicipal or
industrial wastewater. It may also be created for land reclamation after mining, refineries, or other ecological disturbances.
Constructed wetlands are engineered systems that use natural functions of vegetation to treat different water streams. Plants
are often thought of as a treatment pathway. With a plant mono-culture, it is possible to accurately and to model the behavior of
a wetland. In additional, a detailed water characterization is necessary to determine explanatory parameters and inventory the
constituents in the water. In this paper, we provide our researches carried out in laboratory level, concerning the use of some
selected plants in order to be used for the remediation of the wastewater resulted from the pharmaceutical industry. The tested
species were the algae
Chlorella vulgaris
and the aquatic plants
Lemna minor
and
Spyrogira sp
. The algae culture was obtained
by successive selection works starting from an identified cell and then all plant species were kept on special selected growth
media. The 5 tested solutions used as representing some natural waste waters consisted in NH
4
NO
3
, Pb (NO
3
)
2
, MgSO
4
, ZnSO
4
and NaCl. The ions which were analyzed concerning their concentration's evolution during a period of 72 hours (starting from
1%) were: Pb, NO
3
, SO
4
, Mg, Zn and Cl. The results indicate a better final situation in the case of those 2 aquatic plants, than
in the case of using
Chlorella.

Biography
Ana Despina Ionescu has her expertise as the Director of different Romanian Research Projects related to the bioremediation of the industrial waste waters, the
use of some biological filtering systems in order to reduce the toxic contaminants of some natural water resources and the establishment of requested parameters
in order to use the natural mineral water springs for the public health improvement. She is a PhD in the field of Industrial Biology and she has obtained more Medals
at the International Innovation Fairs from Brussels and Geneva during the period 2005-2014. She is working as a Senior Scientific Researcher at the National
Chemical-Pharmaceutical for Research and Development Institute, Bucharest, Romania.
