Attenuation of ammonia in leachate ponds using floating treatment wetlands

漂浮处理湿地是由湿地植被构成的小型木筏，通常位于水质较差的小**水体中。漂浮处理湿地的主要目标是通过向地表水中引入有益植物和微生物来通过自然机制改善水质。**氨被广泛认为是垃圾渗滤液中令人担忧的关键污染物。处理湿地可通过物理和生物因素帮助**从水体中去除氨，包括通过向下的根运输增加水的氧合以促进氨的硝化为硝酸盐，**形成氨氧化微生物群落定居的基质，以及直接吸收**氨。虽然处理湿地在减少废水中氨氮方面的有效性**是已知的，但漂浮处理湿地在降低垃圾渗滤液池塘中氨氮水平的具体应用尚未得到证明。本项目探讨了漂浮处理湿地在降低渗滤液池塘氨氮浓度中所起的作用。

Floating treatment wetlands are small constructed rafts of wetland vegetation that are typically situated in small**bodies of water with poor water quality. The primary objective of floating treatment wetlands is to improve**water quality through natural mechanisms by introducing beneficial plants and microbes to surface water.**Ammonia is widely considered a key pollutant of concern in landfill leachate. Treatment wetlands may assist**in the removal of ammonia from water bodies through both physical and biological factors, including increased**oxygenation of water through downward root transport to facilitate the nitrification of ammonia to nitrate, by**forming a substrate for ammonia oxidizing microbial communities to colonize, and the direct uptake of**ammonia. While the the effectiveness of treatment wetlands in the reduction of ammonia in wastewater is**known, the specific application of floating treatment wetlands to reduce ammonia levels in landfill leachate**ponds has not yet been demonstrated. This project explores the role that floating treatment wetlands play in the**reduction of ammonia concentrations in a leachate pond
