Use of constructed wetland systems with Arundo and Sarcocornia for polishing high salinity tannery wastewater

Treatment of tannery wastewater is problematic due to high and variable concentrations of complex pollutants often combined with high salinity levels. Two series of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (CWs) planted with Arundo donax and Sarcocornia fruticosa were set up after a conventio...
