In subsurface constructed wetlands precipitation and adsorption are the main mechanisms responsible of P uptake. The use of calcareous media is attractive because of p-ca interactions. Two media (calcite and recycled crushed concrete (rcc)) were examined in batch and continuous systems. They show attractive sorption capacities using batch experiments, however experiments carried out in open reactors pointed out some limitation in retention capacities and effluent quality. rcc was sensitive to a strong dissolution leading to a quick phosphorus precipitation but induced high conductivity and ph values in the treated water. Calcite efficiency depended on the material dissolution rate, directly linked to the carbonate equilibrium of the solution. Microscopic observations of the calcite surface show crystal making of phosphorus precipitate. Crystal growth seems to be the main P uptake once materials surfaces are covered. No experimental condition allows to reach an effluent concentration below 2 mgp.l-1.
