Bioaugmentation and phytoremediation wastewater treatment process as a viable alternative for pesticides removal: case of pentachlorophenol.

ABSTRACT: This study focused on the potential for pentachlorophenol removal by a biological process in secondary treated wastewater (STWW). The proposed process is a combined method of phytoremediation using a native plant, Polypogon maritimus and Lemna minor, and bioaugmentation using a fungus. The bioaugmentation process was performed by a fungal isolate capable of removing PCP, isolated from the compost. The identification of the fungus was performed by morphological, biochemical, and molecular methods. A biological treatment system by bioaugmentation and phytoremediation was set up to estimate the capacity of this process to eliminate a high concentration of PCP. physico-chemical parameters, such as pH, COD, and BOD were tested at experimentation times T0 (initial) and Tf (final).
