| dc.description.abstract | Floating Treatment Wetland (FTW) is no longer unknown nowadays, especially in Malaysia. In this research, floating wetlands is used in a tank with an area 1.96 m². The main objective here is to determine the correlation among Total Phosphorus (TP), Total Nitrogen (TN), Phosphate, Nitrate, Turbidity, COD, BOD and Ammonia. Other than that, to know the ability of plant harvesting on the pollutant removal performance for 3 months. This study contains 3 set of Acorus Calamus that were inserted in a pot containing coconut fibre. Then the plants floated by using floating mat and pvc pipe inside a polyethylene tank. There are 3 different conditions were evaluate which Tank A is harvesting after each 1 month, secondly Tank B where evaluation after 2 months harvesting and lastly Tank C which harvesting evaluation is done after 3 months. Hence, the result show that the highest percentage pollutant removal is Total Nitrogen (TN) and Nitrate which reach about 90% of total pollutant removal. While Ammonia give result more than 85% pollutant removal especially after a month harvesting. Turbidity also improve by the end of experiments showing that this plant have potential to absorb the contaminants in polluted water. | en_US |
