Abstract
Anthropogenic activities, such as agricultural, industrial, and domestic, generate wastewater, leading to environmental concerns. Wastewater constituents (organic matter, pathogens, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and nutrients) have a negative impact if not treated, harming ecosystems and human health. Phytoremediator plants are a good option for domestic wastewater treatment since they help remove pollutants through their physiological activities, which are highly related to anatomical adaptations due to their growth in humid habitats. Macrophytes are a useful tool when coupled with a bioelectrochemical constructed wetland and MFC (CW-MFC), which can enhance the removal efficiency of organic matter present in wastewater and promote higher bioelectricity due to the root activity of plants. This review aims to compare different aquatic macrophyte types in wastewater treatment efficiency and provide useful information for plant selection.
