Effects of substrate combinations on greenhouse gas emissions and wastewater treatment performance in vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands

Climate warming would be generally influenced by the quantity and component of greenhouse gases during the carbon and nitrogen removal in constructed wetlands (CWs). In this study, the impacts of the combinations by walnut shell (organic-rich substrate improving denitrification), manganese (Mn) ore...

In this study, the impacts of the combinations by walnut shell (organic-rich substrate improving denitrification), manganese (Mn) ore (electron-exchange substrate transferring CH4 to CO2) and activated alumina (phosphorus-adsorption substrate) on global warming potentials (GWPs) were investigated to propose a strategy for both mitigating GWPs and performing well in wastewater treatment.
