Abstract:Three groups of vertical flow constructed wetlands, filled with coconut fiber and ceramsite (experimental group 1, YTCW), gravel and ceramsite (experimental group 2, LTCW), and gravel quartz sand (control group, CCW), respectively, were employed to treat synthetic tailwater of the sewage plant. Nitrogen pollutants removal efficiency and transformation mechanisms in winter and summer were explored. The higher removal efficiency of ammonium and nitrate, as well as lower emission flux of nitrous oxide, were observed in summer than in winter. In winter, the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen increased by 23.8% (YTCW) and 26.9% (LTCW) compared with CCW. Nitrate removal efficiency in the experimental group was 32.2%(YTCW) and 34.0%(LTCW) higher than those in CCW. The average nitrous oxide emission flux in a typical cycle was 0.18mg/(m2·h) (YTCW), 0.03mg/(m2·h) (LTCW) and 1.17mg/(m2·h) (CCW), respectively. The results of high-throughput sequencing showed that the relative abundance of nitrogen removal functional microorganisms was increased in experimental groups than control, which could improve the nitrogen removal efficiency of constructed wetlands under low temperatures.
