Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of sewage denitrification treatment, greenhouse emission reduction and artificial wetland, and specifically relates to a sulfur autotrophic filter material artificial wetland nitrous oxide emission reduction device. Background Art

[0002] As a comprehensive and multifunctional ecosystem, artificial wetlands play an important role in sewage treatment and are widely used in polluted water treatment and river and lake management. However, the operation of traditional artificial wetlands will produce certain greenhouse gases, which greatly reduces their environmental benefits. Studies have shown that the release flux of greenhouse gases in artificial wetlands is 2 to 10 times that of natural wetlands.

[0003] N2O is an important member of greenhouse gases. N2O is a byproduct of nitrification and an intermediate product of denitrification. Traditional artificial wetlands usually lack bioavailable carbon sources, which inhibits the complete denitrification process and ultimately leads to the release of a large amount of N2O. Achieving complete heterotrophic denitrification and promoting the occurrence of autotrophic denitrification are important ways to reduce the production of N2O in wetlands.

[0004] Wetland fillers are the skeleton of artificial wetlands, providing a place for microorganisms to grow and reproduce. The physical and chemical properties of wetland fillers often affect the water content, microbial population, enzyme activity, pH value, organic matter content, etc. in the system, which in turn affects the release of greenhouse gases. Studies have shown that fillers with high water retention, such as soil and fine sand, will limit the transmission of O2 into the system, leading to an anaerobic environment, thereby increasing the release of N2O. Therefore, by studying artificial wetland fillers, greenhouse gas emissions from artificial wetlands can be effectively reduced. Utility Model Content
