Achintya N. Bezbaruah, Tian C. Zhang

Abstract

QUANTIFICATION OF OXYGEN RELEASE BY BULRUSH (SCIRPUS VALIDUS) ROOTSThe amount of oxygen contributed by wetland plant (bulrush, Scirpus validus) roots toward wastewater treatment has been estimated in the backdrop of conflicting reports about the role wetland plants play in wastewater treatment. Dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) microenvironments in the Scirpus validus rhizosphere were studied using microelectrodes (3-10 μm tip...Author(s)Achintya N.
