Abstract
Water hyacinths showed optimal effectiveness in reducing N, P and K, a nd a weaker capacity to remove conductivity and chloride from a second ary sewage effluent. Sodium concentration in sewage water was little a ffected by water hyacinth growth. The addition of 5 mgFe L-1 to sewage water increased P removal, enhancing biomass production and N and P u ptake by these macrophytes.
