Application of Bio-Carrier in a Ecological Floating Bed for Removal of Nitrogenous Pollutants: A Review

Abstract:

The article reviewed the advanced methods of ecological floating bed including usage of non-biodegradable bio-carrier, choosen of excellent plants, ion-beam irradiation, immobilized bacteria and aeration. Based on the review, the authors present the idea using biodegrable materials as bio-carrier, which not only could enhance the biomass in the ecological floating bed, but also could overcome the insufficience in carbon source for biological denitrification.
