Full-scale analysis of dissolved organic matter in multi-stage wetlands treating wastewater treatment plant effluent and optimization of treatment process

Key Points

• Efficiency in treating wastewater improves with optimized dissolved organic matter strategies, and leads to cleaner effluent.
• The study measures dissolved organic matter levels, achieving reductions of up to 30% under controlled conditions.
• Observational analysis in multi-stage wetlands helps refine the treatment process for better water quality.
• Findings may enable broader applications of wetlands for effective wastewater treatment in urban areas.
