摘要: Abstract The vertical-flow constructed wetland (VFCW) is a promising engineering technique for removal of excess nutrients and certain pollutants from wastewater stormwater. aim this study was to develop model using the STELLA software estimating nitrogen (N) dynamics in an artificial VFCW (i.e., substrate column with six zones) associated growing Cyperus alternifolius species under wetting (wastewater) -to-drying ratio 1:3. calibrated by our experimental data reasonable agreement prior its applications. Simulations showed that rates NH 4 + -N NO 3 − leaching decreased increasing zone number (or depth), although such decrease much more profound -N. Our simulations further revealed rate time within each zone, whereas increased zone. Additionally, both through zones followed water flow pattern: breakthrough during period cessation drying period. In general, cumulative amounts total (TN) were following order: leaching > denitrification > uptake > settlement. About 54% TN flowed out system, 18% lost due denitrification, 6% taken up roots single plant (one hill), rest 22% removed other mechanisms, as volatilization, adsorption, deposition. This suggested improve overall performance N removal, prevention loss one major issues.
