Spatial Variation of Phosphorous Retention Capacity in Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetlands: Effect of Wetland Type and Inflow Loading

Spatial Variation of Phosphorous Retention Capacity in Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetlands: Effect of Wetland Type and Inflow Loading

For verification of spatial distribution of phosphorous retention capacity in constructed wetlands systems(CWs), two horizontal subsurface flow(HSSF) CWs and two vertical subsurface flow(VSSF) CWs, using sand as substrate and Typha latifolia as wetland plants, were constructed and put into use for synthetic wastewater treatment. Five months later, significant spatial variations of TP and inorga...

Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment

effect of reed and hydraulic retention time on the lead removal in horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland

introduction wetlands are classified into four kinds of flows as subsurface, surface, vertical, and hybrid flows. usually, wetlands are planted with common reed (phragmites australis), a rhizomatose plant of the graminae which produces a good yield in green biomass and whose roots can reach a considerable depth and plays a significant role in the wetland self-purification. the treatment efficie...

Reac ve Transport Modeling of Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetlands Using the HYDRUS Wetland Module

Constructed wetlands (CWs) are engineered water treatment systems designed to remove various types of contaminants. A large number of processes simultaneously contribute to water quality improvement in CWs. During the last decade, there has been a wide interest in the understanding of complex “constructed wetland” systems, including the development of numerical process-based models describing t...
