Nitrification in Vertical Flow Constructed Wetlands with Different Substrate and COD: N Ratio

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the effect of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the influent on nitrification in CWs with different substrate (peaty soil and turfy soil) was investigated. The results indicate that the influence of the substrate is insignificant but the COD: N ratio in the influent affects nitrification mainly.
