Abstract:Polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs), as hazardous pollutants,
could be removed by constructed wetlands (CWs). While the traditional
substrate of CWs has a weak adsorption capacity for PAHs, in this
study, the carbonous fillersactivated carbon (AC) and biocharwere
added into the substrate of surface flow CWs to improve the removal
performance of benzofluoranthrene (BbFA), a typical PAH. The results
showed that the BbFA removal efficiencies in CWs with the addition
of AC and biochar were 11.8 and 1.2% high… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
