Abstract
En 中文
Iron-carbon composite-filled constructed wetlands (Fe-C CWs) were employed to treat agricultural runoff in the winter season in this study, and organic substrates and phosphate-accumulating denitrifying bacteria were supplemented to improve the treatment performance. Fe-C CWs performed significantly better in pollutant removal than the control system filled with only gravel by effectively driving autotrophic denitrification, Fe based dephosphorization and organic degradation. Organic substrate and functional bacteria addition further augmented the performance, and immobilized bacterial cells were more effective than free cells. Fe-C and organic substrates decreased the greenhouse gas emission fluxes of the CWs, and denitrifier inoculation alleviated N2O emission. The microbial community in the Fe-C substrates showed a very distinct distribution pattern compared to that in the gravel, with notably higher proportions of Trichococcus, Thauera and Dechloromonas. Bioaugmented Fe-C-based CWs are highly promising for agricultural runoff treatment, especially at low temperatures.
