Impacts of different media on constructed wetlands for rural household sewage treatment

Abstract

a b s t r a c tConstructed wetland systems have been used for treating a variety of household and industrial wastewater; they are a wastewater treatment technology that has high economic efficiency and environmental effectiveness, especially for sewage treatment in rural areas. Medium filler plays an important role in wetland sewage treatment processes. By carrying out a problem analysis of the ineffective operation and treatment of traditional wetlands, this paper designs different constructed wetland fillers to treat rural household sewage. Using the same plants, this paper chooses four different fillers, namely maifanite, steel slag, bamboo charcoal and limestone as substrates to build constructed wetland systems, and studies rural household sewage treatment in order to examine their effects on the degradation of pollutants. The results show the removal efficiencies obtain good effect. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacities of all these media are ordered as: maifanite > steel slag > bamboo charcoal > limestone. The effluent water quality meets the first class A standard of the "Discharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant" (GB18918-2002). The selection of medium has an important significance for the operating results of constructed wetland sewage treatment systems.

Influence of drip irrigation by reclaimed water on the dynamic change of the nitrogen element in soil and tomato yield and quality

“…Compared with irrigation period and buried depth of drip irrigation tape, water quality has a greater influence on tomato yield. Although irrigation by reclaimed water and mixed water is to significantly inhibit crop water consumption, crop yield is higher (Lu et al, 2016c;Wang et al, 2016).…”

Purification effect and microorganisms diversity in an Acorus calamus constructed wetland on petroleum-containing wastewater

“…The wastewater treatment processed mainly includes filtration, adsorption, precipitation, ion exchange, plant absorption, microbial degradation, etc. [11]. There are many types of research on the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrogen and phosphorus by constructed wetland systems [12][13][14], but there are relatively few studies on the purifying petroleumcontaining wastewater.…”

Evaluation on Early Drought Warning System in the Jinghui Channel Irrigation Area

“…For example, Merabente and others developed a water resources decision support system in Fukuoka, Japan, which is able to assess the water supply systems to different drought events and help the decision-makers: the best water supply plan [30,31]. Pallottino developed a decision support system in 2005, which can generate decision schemes in multihydrological scenarios, providing more risk information for decision-makers to make decision schemes [32][33][34]. In 2012, Won et al proposed an agricultural drought decision support system based on risk assessment, which carried out assessment and early warning using the reservoir drought indicators and soil water content indicators and can make risk decisions based on hydrological frequency, climate change, and historical drought condition [35,36].…”
