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.

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.

The three parameters, hydraulic loading rate, organic loading rate and recirculation times have important influence on the efficiency of recirculation treatment, the recirculation experiment research removal of COD under different hydraulic loading rate, organic loading rate and recirculation times by the experimental devices built in landfill in a civil city. The result indicated that the hydraulic loading rate is the major influence parameter for leachate recirculation. When hydraulic loading rate was 30ml/L·d~200ml/L·d, COD removal efficiency was 70%~94%; However, organic loading rate has comparative minor influence on recirculation treatment; the apt recirculation times are 3 or 4 in a day; C/N of recirculation leachate have important influence on NH3-N removal rate, but the effect of hydraulic loading rate and recirculation times on NH3-N removal rate aren’t obvious.
