Optimization and action mechanism of pollutant removal performance of unsaturated vertical flow constructed wetland (UVFCW) driven by substained-release carbon source by Yuechang Wang, Lin-Lan Zhuang, Shuang Liu, Yuanjun Su, Zhen Hu, Jian Zhang, Xiaoping Wang, Shaoming Cui, Gang Peng, Shuting Xie

“…In order to address this problem, this study optimized the pollutants removal performance of unsaturated vertical flow constructed wetland (UVFCW) by adding sustained-release carbon sources (corn cobs + polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT)). The results showed that the sustained-release of carbon source increased the carbon source in UVFCW, thus increasing the abundance and activity of denitrifying microorganisms and enhancing the denitrification reaction, ultimately improving the removal of NO3−-N, with its removal efficiency reaching up to 95.50%. …”
