| Abstract |
Domestic wastewater is commonly treated by biological treatment processes. Current biological treatments often fail to effectively manage all pollutants in domestic wastewater due to limited capacity. Although domestic wastewater only contains low concentrations of different types of pollutants, it also contributes a high content of nutrients and organic matter, leading to long-term and accumulated loading. This review discusses the potential of an integrated biofilm-phytoremediation process that has emerged as an innovative alternative to treat and polish domestic wastewater for water recovery. The integrated biofilm-phytoremediation process comprises a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) combined with water hyacinth as a floating phytoremediation system. Detailed operational conditions and pollutant removal performances of this integrated process were emphasized, showcasing its superior outcomes compared to single treatment approaches. The benefit of selected water hyacinth as a phytoremediator is addressed, emphasizing its benefits and limitations. This integrated process presents a sustainable approach to biomass and water recovery that is aligned with the circular economy concept. Therefore, exploring future perspectives of the integrated biofilm-phytoremediation approach is essential to support the circular economy in domestic wastewater treatment through effective resource recovery. |
