[Dynamic rule of organic matter removal in vertical-flow constructed wetland].
Based upon the analysis of the removal rate and form change of the organic pollutants with the different height of the vertical-flow constructed wetland, it comes to the conclusion of the average longitudinal removal rate of variant forms organics and presents the influent concentration and the hydraulic load curve. The results indicated that: Under this experimental condition, the reduction of the organics in the vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland mainly occurred within the 0-10 cm substrate below the pipe distributor. In the meantime, the smaller the hydraulic load of influent, the higher the removal ratio of the organic pollutants in the substrate section. Under the condition that the vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland used the coarse sands as the substrate and kept the influent hydraulic load less than or equal to 0.5 m3/(m2 x d), the effective height of the organics removal was 60 cm. It also showed that the average degradation rate of different kinds of the organic pollutants has a maximum value in the 0-10 cm substrate section below the pipeline. Moreover, the degradation ratio of different kinds of the organics is in significant decreasing tendency with increasing the depth of the longitudinal direction along the pipe. Using sands as the substrate in the vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland, the relationship of the influent concentration and influent hydraulic load can be expressed by formula:(c(in) - c(out)) x q = 1107.02-2.96 c(in) x q.
