Its core is utilizing aquatic plants and root’s microbes to absorb nitrogen and phosphorus elements, degrade organic matter and enrich heavy metal. EFB has been applied to some water pollution control projects at home and abroad, and has got several achievements. However, there are some factors influenced the removal rate of pollutants, including plants, temperature, seasons, processing time, coverage and initial concentration of pollutants. In the future, the development orientation has been prospected from plant and its combinations, the transformation of EFB structure and the utilization of aquatic resources, and probed the technology of EFB’s building and management, to implement the win-win of landscape benefit and ecological function.展开更多

Ecological floating bed is one of the effective techniques for treating rural domestic sewage. Building different types of ecological floating beds according to the surrounding environment characteristics in rural areas could treat rural domestic sewage with low operation cost,simple management and convenient maintenance,and could obtain a certain economic benefit as well. Therefore,ecological floating bed get fast development in treating rural domestic sewage. The screening of plants would be vital as an important role. Assembling different plants by choosing those with ornamental function,economic benefit and strong decontamination ability according to the surrounding environment and characteristics of domestic waste water along with the seasonal features of plant growth could take full advantages of ecological floating bed.展开更多

Analyzing various treatment stages, the system showed only a slight temperature variation, from an influent average of 26.3°C to an effluent of 24.7°C. Electrical conductivity decreased from 1331 mS/cm to 974.5 mS/cm post-primary treatment, with suspended solids (SS) dramatically reduced from 718.9 mg/L to 5.7 mg/L in the final effluent. Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) saw a notable decrease, from initial levels of 655.6 mg/L and 1240 mg/L to 2.3 mg/L and 71.3 mg/L, respectively. Nitrogenous compounds (N-TN) and phosphates () also decreased significantly, indicating the system’s nutrient removal capacity. Microbiological analysis revealed a reduction in fecal coliforms from 7.5 Ulog/100ml to 1.8 Ulog/100ml and a complete elimination of helminth eggs. The presence of Phragmites and Typha was instrumental in enhancing these reductions. The system’s compliance with the Senegalese standards for disposal into natural environments, WHO recommendations for unrestricted water reuse in irrigation, and the European legislation for water reuse was established. The effluent quality met the stringent criteria for various classes of agricultural reuse, illustrating the system’s potential for sustainable water management. This wetland model presents a robust solution for water-stressed regions, ensuring environmental protection while supporting agricultural needs. The study calls for ongoing research to further refine the system for optimal, reliable wastewater treatment and water resource sustainability.展开更多

This study aimed to identify nutrient concentration variations during Oenanthe javanica (Blume) DC growth and decay in the ecological floating bed system. Results showed that the third-order polynomial equation was suitable to describe pollutant concentration changes, showing that the effect of O. javanica ecological floating bed system on polluted water could be divided into the purification phase and decay phase. During the purification phase, nutrient concentrations rapidly decreased because O. javanica influenced water microbial communities and water physical parameters (i.e., dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature), and had a direct uptake of nutrients. However, during the decay phase, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in the plant tissues decreased, and these lost nutrients ultimately transferred to water and led to water quality deterioration. Results also showed that the uptake and storage of O. javanica in nutrients were temporary and the plant served only as media of the nutrients removed from the water. Under these circumstances, harvesting was an appropriate intervention to improve the treatment efficiency of O. javanica ecological floating bed system.展开更多

However, the water flow pattern and the water level distribution are significantly changed by the floating beds, and the influence on the water flow is different from that of aquatic plants. In this paper, based on the continuous porous media model, a moveable two-layer combination model is built to describe the floating bed. The influences of the floating beds on the water flow characteristics are studied by numerical simulations and experiments using an experimental water channel. The variations of the water level distribution are discussed under conditions of different flow velocities( v= 0.1 m/s, 0.2 m/s, 0.30 m/s, 0.4 m/s), floating bed coverage rates(20%, 40%, 60%) and arrangement positions away from the channel wall( D= 0 m, 0.1 m, 0.2 m). The results indicate that the flow velocity increases under the floating beds, and the water level rises significantly under high flow velocity conditions in the upstream region and the floating bed region. In addition, the average rising water level value(ARWLV) increases significantly with the increase of the floating bed coverage rate, and the arrangement position of floating beds in the river can also greatly influence the water level distribution under a high-flow velocity condition(v ?0.2 m /s).展开更多

The plant root system of the floating bed is the primary region to absorb and degrade the pollutant of water. Its inner flow field characteristics and the interactive water quantity with the surrounding water greatly impact the purification efficiency of the floating bed. In this paper, the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technology and the boundary velocity direct extraction method are used to study the velocity distribution of the root system region by numerical simulations and experiments in an experimental water channel. A pollution removal rate (PRR) evaluation model is built to calculate the PRR by coupling with the flow velocity field of the root system region. The variations of the total pollutant removal rate (TPRR) are discussed for different center distances (L =0.30 m, 0.45 m, 0.60 m), flow velocities (v= 0.007 m/s, 0.015 m/s, 0.025 m/s, 0.040 m/s, 0.055 m/s, 0.070 m/s) and root system porosities (P = 54.73%, 68.33%, 79.17%). The results indicate that the position arrangement of the floating beds influences the TPRR significantly, and the distance should be limited in a reasonable range for a high purification efficiency. Moreover, the root systems with higher porosity (P = 68.33%, 79.17%) have higher TPRR value than a lower porosity root system (P = 54.73%) within a certain flow velocity range, and the higher porosity root system has less fluctuation of the TPRR value than a lower porosity situation within a wide flow velocity range. Furthermore, under the same center distance condition, the lower flow velocity condition brings about a significantly higher TPRR value than the higher flow velocity situation.展开更多
