摘要
The influence of light weight aggregates made of fly ash from sewage sludge thermal treatment (FASSTT-LWA) on the nitrogen removal efficiency from artificial wastewater in constructed wetlands (CW) with vertical flow reed bed was investigated. Thirty lysimeters with six different double-layer bed constructions (upper layer of FASSTT LWA with thicknesses of: 0 cm, 12cm, 25cm, 50 cm, and 100 cm of the total depth of the lysimeter, above a lower gravel layer), either with or without reed plants were operated with wastewater hydraulic loading rate of 4.67 mm/d. During a six-month experiment, high efficiency of ammonia removal was observed. The influence of FASSTT LWA as a bed material and the presence of reed on CW treatment efficiency was determined. The highest total nitrogen removal efficiency, 59.5%, was obtained in the CW with double-layer lysimeters consisting of 25% FASSTT LWA (upper layer), and 75% gravel (lower layer), and planted with reed.
