Abstract

Zeolite, haydite, tire crumb, volcanic and vermiculite were selected as potential substrates of constructed wetland. This study investigates the adsorption of the mixed substrates for removing nutrients. A series of batch test experimentations was performed. The results indicate that there is an obvious advantage to zeolite on nitrogen removal and so to tire crumb on phosphorus removal when simulated sewage were treated. While the optimal combination for the removal of nutrients in five different mixed substrates was the 4th mixed substrates (haydite 25%, vermiculite25%, zeolite 25%, tire crumb 25%).
