To examine the performance of a constructed wetland system on stormwater runoff and domestic sewage (SRS) treatment in central east China, two parallel pilot-scale integrated constructed wetland (ICW) systems were operated for one year. Each ICW consisted of a down-flow bed, an up-flow bed and a horizontal subsurface flow bed. The average removal rates of chemical oxygen demand (CODCr), total suspended solids (TSS), ammonia (NH4+-N), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were 63.6, 91.9, 38.7, 43.0 and 70.0%, respectively, and the corresponding amounts of pollutant retention were approximately 368.3, 284.9, 23.2, 44.6 and 5.9 g m−2 yr−1, respectively. High hydraulic loading rate (HLR) of 200 mm/d and low water temperatures (<15 °C) resulted in significant decrease in removals for TP and NH4+-N, but had no significant effects on removals of COD and TSS. These results indicated that the operation of this ICW at higher HLR (200 mm/d) might be effective and feasible for TSS and COD removal, but for acceptable removal efficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorus it should be operated at lower HLR (100 mm/d). This kind of ICW could be employed as an effective technique for SRS treatment.

This study focused on the evaluation of performance and mechanisms of a high-rate algal pond system (HRAP System) in nitrogen and phosphorus removal for rural domestic sewage treatment. A pilot scale HRAP System was located at Yangzhu Village, Jiangsu Province, east China, with treatment processes including a septic tank, two stages of HRAPs and an aquatic pond. Results showed that the HRAP System had a good performance in nutrient removal, especially in NH+4-N removal. Total removal efficiencies of COD, TN, NH+4-N and TP were 80, 51.8, 90.2 and 52.1%, respectively. About 61.6% of NH+4-N in the 1st-stage HRAP and 70.9% in the 2nd-stage HRAP were transformed into NO−3-N and NO2−-N through nitrification, and the nitrogen losses via ammonia volatilization was only 2.7% (for 1st-stage HRAP) and 8.8% (for 2nd-stage HRAP). The other 35.7% and 20.3% of NH+4-N removal were achieved by algae assimilation respectively. About 98.0% (for 1st-stage HRAP) and 84.8% (for 2nd-stage HRAP) removal of TN were attributed to algae sedimentation, while those through ammonia volatilization were only 2.0% (for 1st-stage HRAP) and 15.4% (for 2nd-stage HRAP), respectively. Therefore, the main mechanisms of NH+4-N removal in HRAP were nitrification and algae assimilation, and TN was mainly removed by algae sedimentation. About 50.7% (for 1st-stage HRAP) and 53.1% (for 2nd-stage HRAP) of phosphorus in the deposit were organic phosphates respectively, only 20.7% and 27.7% were calcium-bound and magnesium-bound phosphates. The removal mechanism of TP in HRAP could be mainly attributed to algae assimilation in forms of organic phosphate, and chemical precipitation in forms of calcium-bound and magnesium-bound.
