Abstract:
      The pot cultivation experiment was conducted to study the purification performance for low-pollution wastewater and the impact on the plant growth in O. javanica wetland system coupling biochar addition. The treatment groups were designed as 1% or 5% addition amount of biochar calcined at 500℃ or 700℃(500℃-1%, 500℃-5%, 700℃-1% and 700℃-5%, respectively), while control groups were set without biochar addition. Each treatment had three replicates. The results showed that the average total nitrogen(TN) concentration of the surface water in treatments of 500℃-1% and 700℃-1% were 4.05~4.18 mg·L-1, lower than that of the control; however, the amount of ammonia volatilization loss was 96.07 kg·hm-2 in 500℃-1% treatment, which was significantly higher than other treatments. The amount of ammonia volatilization was relatively low in 700℃-1% treatment(43.02 kg·hm-2), and the plant aboveground biomass and nutrient accumulation were higher than other treatments. Biochar with calcination temperature 700℃ and 1% addition amount can also immobilize the soil nutrient to a certain extent. The wetland plant system with appropriate biochar addition seems to be a good measure in the purification of wastewater while reducing negative impacts on the environment and utilizing the nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrient efficiently.
