Abstract

The chapter delves into the application of hydroponics as a tertiary treatment for wastewater, focusing on the removal of contaminants such as toxic metals and organic compounds. It discusses the advantages of closed hydroponic systems over open ones, including reduced water usage and environmental impact. The text also explores the mechanisms by which plants and microorganisms contribute to the degradation of contaminants, emphasizing the importance of optimal temperature and pH conditions. Additionally, it highlights the economic and social benefits of using hydroponics for wastewater treatment, such as producing high-quality crops and reducing dependency on external water resources. The chapter concludes by noting the need for further research to fully demonstrate the effectiveness of this technology in full-scale experiments.
