Abstract:
The preliminary study on purification function of reed wetland for nutrients from land sources were conducted by irrigation channels and lysimeters. The results show that the purification rates for N, P and CODcr are from 41.7%-64.71% in the channels and 60.0%-75.92% in the lysimeters. The contents of N and P reached the national second level standards of sea water after filtration by lysimeters. By harvest, the good recycle between wetland and land is formed without accumulation.

Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.
01:30Microbial Wastewater Treatment
Microbial communities in aquatic ecosystems play a key role in the natural breakdown of contaminants introduced through domestic and industrial effluents. Acting as biological catalysts, these microbes change and mineralize a wide range of organic and inorganic pollutants under different redox conditions.In oxygen-rich surface waters, aerobic heterotrophs lead organic matter breakdown, using oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor to efficiently oxidize substrates to carbon dioxide and water.
