wastewater from pig farms cause serious environmental pollution, which poses a high risk to public health and surrounding ecosystems Therefore, the proper treatment of swine wastewater is urgent and necessary At present, swine wastewater in Vietnam is normally treated by biogas technology However, the concentration of pollutants in the effluent is still high, exceeding national discharge standards (QCVN 01-79: 2011/BNNPTNT) Thus, further processing after biogas treatment of swine wastewater is mandatory Constructed wetlands (CWs) is a promising technology, which possesses many advantages, such as cost-effective, green technology (Wu et al., 2015; Yang et al, 2018;), low land, energy, and less-operational requirements (Wu et al., 2015); simple construction and operation (Bunce et al., 2018) However, the wide application of CWs is limited by intensive land requirement, long-term unsustainability (Bunce et al., 2018) Especially, although CWs can achieve high removal efficiency with TSS, COD, BOD, it is demonstrated to be inefficient in nutrient elimination It is wellknown that the treatment performance of phosphorus by CWs is low and unstable Hence, the enhancement of phosphorus removal by CW is of great significance Since phosphorus is eliminated by CWs mainly via substrate adsorption, plant uptake, microbial degradation, selection and application of potential plants in CWs plays an important role Plant-based treatment technology is known as phytoremediation, which receives the great interests of scientists in the world So far, a numerous number of studies on successful phytoremediation of wastewater polluted by phosphorus The most common types of plant species for nutrient removal are Typha latifolia, Cyperus papyrus, Phragmite australiis (Almuktar et al., 2018) TP removal efficiency of vi 3.2.4 Effect of plant density on its growth and P uptake The total amount of removed P by a plant depends not only on the P content in the plant but also on the biomass growth (Schwammberger et al, 2019) However, biomass growth is reporeted to be affected by the plant density (Jethwa and Bajpai, 2016) This experiment was designed to identify the optimum plant density for the best growth and P uptake by Ubon paspalum and Cymbopogon citratus The experiments with hydroponic solutions were conducted with kinds of plant densities (1, 3, and plants per beaker) for both Ubon paspalum and Cymbopogon citratus It was lasted for 21 days (7 turns) Every days, hydroponic solutions were changed and wastewater samples were collected for P analysis to evaluate the P removal rate and P removal efficiency The experiments with soil was performed with categories of plant densities (1, 2, 3, and plants per trough – 0.5 m2) for only Ubon paspalum It lasted for months (March to May 2019) At the start and the end of experiment, the biomass was measured to evaluate the biomass growth rate and P content in different parts of plant Relating the hydroponic experiments, the effect of plant density on the P removal rate and P removal efficiency of the investigated plants were shown in Figures 3.19 & 3.20 It was found that the higher the plant density was, the slower the P removal rate was oberverd for both Ubon paspalum and Cymbopogon citratus Specifically, the P removal rate of Cymbopogon citratus was decreased from 19.63 to 11.22 mg P/ kg biomass/ d when the plant density increased from to plant/ beaker The higher P removal rate at lower plant density can be attributed to less competition between plants when there were fewer plants in the beaker The similar results were released when Webb et al (2013) Accordingly, the P removal rate of Salicornia europaea at high and low plant densities were found to be 19.96 26.09 mg P/ kg biomass/ d, respectively The opposite trend occurred with the P removal efficiency for both Cymbopogon citratus and Ubon paspalum The P removal efficiency of Cymbopogon citratus was elevated from 22.43 to 51.04% when the plant density increased from to plant/ beaker This can be explained by the fact that the 49 nutrient demand was higher for a greater number of the plant in the beaker The same trend happened to Ubon paspalum However, the reduction in the P removal efficiency as the result of increase in plant density for Cymbopogon citratus (28.61%) was higher than that for Ubon paspalum (15.84%) This indicates that more attention P removal rate (mg P/ kg/ d) should be paid to the plant desnity if Cymbopogon citratus was planted in the CWs 25 20 15 10 plant plants plants

paspalum, the results on the biomass and biomass growth rate were summarized in Table 3.6 The biomass growth rate of Ubon paspalum was decreased from 10.12 to 3.65 g/d when the plant density increased from 10 to 40 plant/ m2 In contrast, the higher accumulative harvested biomass was obtained at the higher plant density from 10 to 30 plants/ m2 The biomass growth was increased from 6070 to 10290 g when the plant density elevated from 10 to 30 plants/ m2 The highest biomass (10290 g) was obtained at the plant density of 30 plant/m2 At the plant density of 10, 20 or 40 plant/m2, the biomass was low (6070, 7735 and 8748 g) compared with the max biomass Thus, these plant densities should not be used Taking into account both biomass and biomass growth rate, the best plant density was 30 plant/m2 This finding was validated by the observation that the root system of Ubon paspalum was longest (up to 0.8 m) at this plant density (Figure 3.21) Table 3.6 Effect plant density on the biomass

paspalum at different plant densities 3.2.5 Effect of water level on its growth and P uptake Water levels significantly affected plant growth rate and nutrient removal capacity (Ngo et al, 2018) Study the effect of flooding on the rate of P uptake and plant growth to determine the appropriate water level in CWs construction This experiment was conducted with three water levels (2, 5, and cm in 500 mL beaker) The experiment results were illustrated in Figure 3.22 It can be seen from Figure 3.22 that the P removal rate was highest at the water level of cm, which was 17.74 and 10.32 mg P/kg biomass/d for both Cymbopogon citratus and Ubon paspalum, respectively The P removal rate was lowest at the water level of cm This is probably because the flooding significantly affected the growth of plants, thus reducing the P uptake ability of the plants The P removal rate at the water level of cm was lower than that at the water level of cm This is because the less P content could be found in the P solution with lower volume This study indicates that the superior P removal rate could be obtained with lower water levels Similarly, Ngo et al (2013) found that Typha orientalis could grow and uptake P better at lower water levels In the contrary, the better P removal rate of Spirodela oligorrhiza was found at higher water depths (Xu and Shen, 2011) This is because Spirodela oligorrhiza was floating plant Therefore, it is more tolerant to flooding 52 than emergent plants Therefore, higher water depths could not hamper its growth and P removal rate (mg P/ kg/ d) P uptake 20 16 12 Water level (cm) Ubon paspalum Cymbopogon citratus Figure 3.22 Effect of water level on P removal rate of plants The removal P rate of Cymbopogon citratus varied from 11.58 to 17.74 mg/kg/d, which was 1.57-1.88 times higher than that of Ubon paspalum The result exhibited that Cymbopogon citratus could survive at all water levels In contrast, Ubon paspalum was dramatically affected by water level of cm For two out of five turns, the stem of plants turned black and the ruined At the water level of cm, new roots did not appear for all the experiment period In contrast, the growth of new roots was enhanced at two lower water level, especially at the water level of cm The effect of water level on the root growth was quite similar to that on P removal rate These results indicated that the water level of cm was the optimal for both investigated plants and Ubon paspalum was more sensitive to flooding than Cymbopogon citratus 53 Figure 3.23 Effect of water level on root growth of Ubon paspalum

Adsorption unit Figure 3.24 The change of phosphorus in the effluent over the time This experiment was conducted to assess the role of removing P of plants in CWs tanks for Ubon paspalum and tanks for control were established Besides, the role of CW unit and adsoption unit is also assessed The plants before being tranfered to the system is cut and leave 25 cm of stem with a volume of 400 g per tank In the beginning, the plants grew slowly However, after weeks of adapting the tree the growth rate of the plant was faster, the new 54 branch appeared and many new roots, the height of the plants from 25 cm initially 120 14 100 12 10 80 60 40 pH P removal efficiency (%) increased to m 20 0 Tank Tank Tank Tank % P removal Adsorption Adsorption pH Figure 3.25 P removal efficiency and pH after treatment of HFCWs The difference in the efficiency of treatment performance between the planted CWs system and without plant CWs has obtained some initial results For CWs with substrate as WHC, the role of the plants occupies 1.9% while the role of the plants in CWs with yellow sand as substarte was 3.5% The role of plants in the yellow sand system is slightly higher than that of a WHC substrate The P removal efficiency of CWs (containing WHC) is lower than that of the sand system, which may be related to differences in Ph in these two systems pH in tank - WHC (8.1) is higher than tank –yellow sand (7.7) According to previous studies, pH = 5.5 - is suitable for plant growth and absorption In addition to, the difference is not much Because the system's operating time is quite short and plants has not enough time to adapt When the CWs tank with sand is soon saturated, the difference of the role of plants in system CWs will be clearer Curently, the contribution of plants in the P removal efficiency is very small It need to takes longer observation time 55 After 29 days of operation, the treatment efficiency of the system reaches 9598.7% The removal efficiency of P for WHC system (98%) is 21% higher than the average yellow sand system Summary, the removal efficiency of P of the system still follows the good trend in WHC while becoming more saturated in the sand system To improve the effectiveness of the plant's P removal, pay attention to selecting the young plants and putting them in the background soulution after week before transferring them to the The first days of experiment After two weeks operation of experimetn Figure 3.26 The plants growth well after weeks of system operation 56 CHAPTER 4: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION 4.1 Conclusion • Among investigated plants, Cymbopogon citratus and Ubon paspalum were most potential for use as CWs plants, because of high biomass, fast growth, high P uptake, good tolerance to flooding and perennial and uncommon CWs plants • Concerning influential factors, Cymbopogon citratus grew the best at pH and was tolerant with high P concentration (up to 50 mg/L) and water level (8 cm for week) Ubon paspalum grew the best at pH 7, was less tolerant with high P concentration (25 mg/L) and water level (5 cm for week) than Cymbopogon citratus The younger the Ubon paspalum was, the higher the P removal rate was The best harvest time for Ubon paspalum was months after planting • In the WHC-based CWs, Ubon paspalum adapted well In the start-up period, this plant contributed to 1.9 – 3.5 % to the P removal of CWs 4.2 Recommendations • This study was implemented in a short period of time, which was inadequate for the complete assessment the P accumulation in the plant A longer study with the same plant should be done in the future • This study was conducted with the simulated wastewater containing only P It is highly recommended to conduct further research with the real wastewater and multiple pollutants • The effect of season on the growth and P uptake of plant should also be investigated in the future work 57 REFERENCE Almuktar, S A., Abed, S N., & Scholz, M (2018) Wetlands for wastewater
