Nitrogen removal processing in different constructed wetlands treating different kinds of wastewater often varies, and the contribution to nitrogen removal by various pathways remains unclear. In this study, the seasonal nitrogen removal and transformations as well as nitrogen balance in wetland microcosms treating slightly polluted river water was investigated. The results showed that the average total nitrogen removal rates varied in different seasons. According to the mass balance approach, plant uptake removed 8.4-34.3 % of the total nitrogen input, while sediment storage and N(2)O emission contributed 20.5-34.4 % and 0.6-1.9 % of nitrogen removal, respectively. However, the percentage of other nitrogen loss such as N(2) emission due to nitrification and denitrification was estimated to be 2.0-23.5 %. The results indicated that plant uptake and sediment storage were the key factors limiting nitrogen removal besides microbial processes in surface constructed wetland for treating slightly polluted river water.
不同类型污水在不同人工湿地中的脱氮处理过程往往不同,各种途径对氮去除的贡献尚不清楚。本研究以轻度污染河水为处理对象,考察了湿地微宇宙的季节性氮去除和转化以及氮平衡。结果表明,不同季节的总氮去除率存在差异。根据质量平衡方法,植物吸收去除了总氮输入的 8.4-34.3%,而沉积物储存和 N(2)O 排放分别贡献了氮去除的 20.5-34.4%和 0.6-1.9%。然而,由于硝化和反硝化作用导致的其他氮损失(如 N(2)排放)的百分比估计为 2.0-23.5%。结果表明,在表面人工湿地处理轻度污染河水时,除微生物过程外,植物吸收和沉积物储存也是限制氮去除的关键因素。
