Water samples were collected three times a week to make chemical, physical
and microbiological tests, in order to determine the role of Macrophytes in
improving and enhancing domestic wastewater purification processes, by the
means of providing th
e necessary oxygen for microorganisms; absorbing some
metal elements and chemical ions in addition to adsorbing a portion of
microorganisms on its surfaces. This will lead to the completion of water
purification and mineralization processes.
Necessary tests for evaluating the purification processes had been carried on
raw and treated water for a period of 17 days each experiment, using special
tanks previously made for this purpose.
The results obtained confirmed the effective role of microorganisms in
domestic wastewater treatment and water purification using macrophytes
which were capable of providing the suitable conditions to motivate
heterotrophic microorganisms, which are characterized by the ability to
decompose the organic matter and its active oxidation, which affects the
concentrations of nitrates, ammonium, suspended solids and electrical
conductivity... Etc.
Tests results clearly confirm the positive effect of Macrophytes as Butomus
umbellatus on enhancing purification processes and activating the organic
matter mineralization by microorganisms.
