Simultaneous bio-clogging mitigation and nutrient removal enhancement via sulfide addition in constructed wetlands
Bio-clogging, primarily driven by excessive biofilm growth, significantly hampers the efficiency and longevity of constructed wetlands (CWs). This study introduces an innovative sulfide addition strategy to mitigate bio-clogging and enhance nitrogen and phosphorus removal in CWs. Experimental results indicate sulfide addition notably slows bio-clogging by up to 3.72-fold, primarily through targeted disruption of extracellular polymeric substances, particularly polysaccharides. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed that biofilms in sulfide-treated CWs developed porous, network-like structures, significantly improving substrate permeability. Three-dimensional fluorescence excitation-emission matrix analyses revealed substantial production of tryptophan-like proteins and microbial byproducts under anaerobic conditions in sulfide-treated CWs, which were subsequently fermented into short-chain fatty acids. Under carbon-limited conditions (COD/N = 3), sulfide-enhanced CWs achieved approximately 78.19 % and 84.23 % removal efficiencies for nitrogen and phosphorus, respectively—roughly 20 % higher than conventional CWs. Mechanistically, enhanced nitrogen and phosphorus removal in SCW primarily resulted from short-cut nitrification, increased carbon source availability promoting denitrification, sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification and sulfur related denitrifying dephosphatation. Overall, these findings propose sulfide addition as a viable approach for sustainable CW operation.
期刊介绍:
The Chemical Engineering Journal is an international research journal that invites contributions of original and novel fundamental research. It aims to provide an international platform for presenting original fundamental research, interpretative reviews, and discussions on new developments in chemical engineering. The journal welcomes papers that describe novel theory and its practical application, as well as those that demonstrate the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. It also welcomes reports on carefully conducted experimental work that is soundly interpreted. The main focus of the journal is on original and rigorous research results that have broad significance. The Catalysis section within the Chemical Engineering Journal focuses specifically on Experimental and Theoretical studies in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, molecular catalysis, and biocatalysis. These studies have industrial impact on various sectors such as chemicals, energy, materials, foods, healthcare, and environmental protection.
