In Tangshan area, the secondary effluent of wastewater treatment plants was used for this study. Horizontal zeolite wetland was carried out treating it. Hydraulic loading rate was the parameters for analyzing the nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency of pollutants from the secondary effluent of wastewater treatment plant. Zeolite constructed wetlands showed different behaviors for nitrogen and phosphorus removals.Under the optimum hydraulic loading rate, the primary pollutions were removed to a large extent.

Hydraulic loading rate (HLR) is an important operational parameter for constructed wetland to purify wastewater. In this paper, it is the main objective to select the optimal parameter of HLR. During the four HLRs (i.e., 6 cm/d, 12 cm/d, 24 cm/d and 48 cm/d) operation period, six days were used as one stage. The experimental results showed that the best average removal rates of CODcr (59.7%) and NH3-N (89.4%) were at the HLR of 6 cm/d. In the meantime, the best average removal rate of total phosphorus (TP, 50.0%) was at the HLR of 24 cm/d. According to the low influent TP concentration, it is suggested that the HLR of 6 cm/d should be used in the multi-stage constructed wetland.

Despite the widespread use of trickling filters, there has been minimal investigation of the fate of volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) in such systems. A model describing the fate of VOCs in trickling filters is described. The removal of VOCs was investigated in a pilot-scale trickling filter receiving a feed of sewage dosed with a constant concentration of selected VOCs. Increasing hydraulic loading tended to increase the proportion of influent VOCs found in the effluent. Imposing effluent recycle also increased the fraction of VOCs found in the effluent but also decreased the fraction stripped and increased the fraction that was biodegraded. The values of the biodegradation coefficient, Kb, were found to be reproducible and affected by a combination of high hydraulic loading rate and effluent recycle.

A laboratory-scale study was conducted using a combination of SSF and FWS constructed wetland planted with Limnocharis flava and Eichhornia crassipes to treat landfill leachate. The effects of hydraulic loading rate (HLR) on pollutant removal in landfill leachate as well as the difference in performance between the planted and control system were investigated. The HLR in the system was varied at 0.39 m/d and 0.55 m/d. The results showed that the SSF-FWS constructed wetland was successful in reducing the pH value, TSS and turbidity. The removal efficiency of TSS and turbidity were achieved 98.32% and 97.43%, respectively at 0.39 m/d HLR. The study concluded that different HLR and the presence of wetland plants have given significant effects on the constructed wetland performance.
