An ecological filter is constructed for successful nitrification instead of conventional filter system. Zeolite and coal cinder compose main substrates of this micro-ecological filter. Nitrogen contamination removal process is investigated in three different systems (D system, A system and N system) contrastively. Dominant bacteria colony is applied to intensify the remedying process. The data showed that, NH4+-N removal efficiency in D system is better than those in the other two systems for zeolite absorption, nitrogen removal efficiency by nitrification increased. Functional bacterium consortium can adsorb much NH4+-N in short time. Most nitrogen removal is hastened through nitrification by abundant nitrous and nitride bacterium in dominant colony. That dominant consortium keeps high activity in long time. Phosphorus removal is improved by abundant aboriginal bacterium. Complex functional bacterium is benefit to decompose organic phosphorus and its removal.
Natural zeolite and coal cinder were layered as main packing medium of the ecological filter instead of traditional filling to remedy the static lake water in Northern China.The ecological filter was running in a combined upward and downward flow mode.Dynamic experiments were carried out to study the effects of retention time and ambient temperature on pollutants' removal efficiency of the hybrid ecological filter.The function of plant was also studied by contrast test.It is showed that the removal efficiencies of NH4+-N and TP are increased when the retention time is changed from 1 h to 2 h and 4 h,but the removal efficiency of TN is decreased,the removal efficiency of NH4+-N is increased from 91.5% to 98% and that of TP is increased from 31.8% to 52.5%.When the temperature declines,the temporal removal efficiency of NH4+-N is reduced,but the removal efficiency of 24 h and 48 h is remained.The removal efficiency of TP after 24 h and 48 h is decreased when the temperature declines evidently.The retention time plays an important role in NH4+-N and TP removal,and the ambient temperature is significant for TP removal.The plant favors for TP and organic matter removal but has little effect on TN removal.
