Constructed wetlands (HC) are an effective technology for treating industrial wastewater. A pilot study at Universidad del Atlántico in Barranquilla, Colombia, evaluated the removal of Chromium (Cr) and Zinc (Zn) using horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands. The study compared a wetland planted with Cyperus odoratus L. to an unplanted control. The planted wetland achieved 93% and 96% removal efficiency for Cr and Zn, respectively, while the control achieved 67% and 98%. Cyperus odoratus demonstrated high translocation factors for Cr and Zn, indicating its potential as a heavy metal accumulator. The study suggests that Cyperus odoratus could be recommended for use in constructed wetland technology due to its rapid growth and metal absorption capabilities.
