A lab-scale study of constructed wetlands with sugarcane bagasse and sand media for the treatment of textile wastewater

- Higher media porosity of sugarcane bagasse media allowed oxygen diffusion.
- C leaching from the organic media supported denitrification in VF reactors.
- Anaerobic conditions accelerated color removal in HF wetland reactors.
- The wetland systems showed stable removal performances under unsteady loadings.
- Constructed wetlands can be employed as alternative technologies in Bangladesh.
