Purification Effect of Vertical-Flow Constructed Wetlands with Multi-Size Combined Filter Medium

Article Preview

Abstract:

Three columns filled with multi-size combined medium were utilized in the simulative vertical-flow constructed wetland systems to treat wastewater at hydraulic loading rate of 2000-3000 mm/d, that the same kind of media including biological ceramsite, anthracite and zeolite in each column. Comparative analyses were made in treatment performances between multi-size medium and single medium. The results showed that compared with the treatment performances of single medium, the purifying effect had great influence by the multi-size combined medium which were made up of same kind and different size of filter medium. Contrast with the corresponding single medium, the average removal efficiencies of CODCr, Total Nitrogen (TN), and Total Phosphorus (TP) were increased obviously which were purified by the multi-size combined medium. Good performances were achieved in terms of removal of BOD5 and CODCr in the column of multi-size combined biological ceramsite medium. The average removal efficiencies of TN were great in the column of multi-size combined zeolite medium. Good performances were also achieved in terms of removal of TP in the column of multi-size combined anthracite medium.
