Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heavy metal treatment, and in particular to an artificial wetland and a method for repairing heavy metal pollution by using the artificial wetland. Background Art

[0002] As a transition zone between water and land, wetlands have great environmental regulation functions and ecological benefits. Together with forests and oceans, they are known as the world's three major ecosystems. They play an irreplaceable role in maintaining biodiversity, preventing floods and droughts, regulating climate, degrading pollutants, beautifying the environment, and providing production and living materials. They are one of the most important natural resources and living environments for mankind and are known as the "kidneys of the earth." In recent years, with the increasing prominence of environmental problems, wetland protection and sustainable use have become the focus and hotspot of common concern of governments and scientists around the world.

[0003] The sources of heavy metals in wetland sediments can be divided into two categories: natural sources and anthropogenic sources. Natural sources refer to various geological and geochemical processes, such as geological tectonic activities, rock weathering and soil formation processes. The natural sources of heavy metals form their natural abundance in a certain area, that is, the environmental background value. Anthropogenic sources mainly include industrial production pollution, traffic pollution, domestic waste, and unreasonable application of fertilizers, organic fertilizers, urban waste and pesticides containing heavy metals in agricultural production, as well as non-point source pollution caused by sewage irrigation. The heavy metals in these pollutants enter the sediments through surface runoff and atmospheric deposition, eventually leading to the accumulation of heavy metals in wetland sediments. In addition, the accumulation of heavy metals in sediments is not only controlled by the source of pollutants, but also affected by wetland environmental conditions and physical and chemical properties of sediments. It is generally believed that factors such as sediment organic matter content, mechanical composition, redox conditions, nutrient ion composition and vegetation coverage will affect the accumulation of heavy metals.

[0004] Therefore, how to repair the wetland system and reduce the level of heavy metal pollution has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention
