Abstract
Treatment of Drainage Water (DW) containing Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) using Duckweed (Lemna gibba) was investigated. Five identical continuous flow Duckweed-Based Treatment Systems (DBS) were operated at different initial concentrations of MEG and hydraulic retention times (HRTs). The removal efficiency of MEG decreased from 85.09�±1.33 to 79.26�±2.12% on increasing the initial concentration from 215 to 400 mg/l, respectively. However, the efficiency of DBS was largely deteriorated at higher concentrations of MEG, i.e., the removal efficiencies were dropped by values of 48.59�±1.22% and 54.23�±1.11% at concentration of 787 and 1184 mg/l, respectively. The performance of DBS was completely inhibited at MEG concentrations exceeding 1184 mg/l. The removal efficiency of MEG significantly (p<0.1) increased from 37.25�±1.34 to 79.26�±2.12% on increasing the HRT from 6 to 18 days, respectively. Nevertheless, the removal efficiencies of MEG remained unaffected at increasing the HRT up to 21 days. The uptake process typically followed first-order exponential decay relationships.Biography
