Popis: In order to study combination effect of aquatic plants for the purification of eutrophic wastewater, research was carried out in greenhouse with water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersumL) an water milfoil (Myriophyllum verticillatum L). In the treatment of water hyacinth + water milfoil , the removal efficiency of ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N), nitrite nitrogen (NO3--N) , total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and COD was 74.7%, 61.7%, 65.6%, 73.8% and 50.8% respectively. And that of water hyacinth + hornwort was 79.0%, 52.6%, 67.5%, 46.2% and 56.9%. The combination of different aquatic plants have better removal efficiency than single species. Water milfoil showed good removal ability for the eutrophication pollutants, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, while hornwort was good at the purification of COD.
