Abstract:The oxygen transfer rate (OTR) and removal of organics, nitrogen, phosphorus in a naturally-ventilated constructed wetland (CWNV) installed with an air duct system at different wind speed (u≤4.0 m·s?1) was systematically investigated. Results showed that the external air could effectively diffuse and dissolve into the wetland interior through the bores on air ducts. Compared to a non-ventilated CW (CW0), OTR in CWNV (61.38~78.30 g·(m3·d)?1) increased by 19.3%~33.5%, and thus the processes of ammonification, nitrification and aerobic degradation of organics in CWNV were enhanced. The removal loads of NH3-N and COD in CWNV were 2.84~4.57 g·(m3·d)?1 and 45.0~56.6 g·(m3·d)?1, respectively, they were higher than those in CW0 by 90.5%~119.6% and 11.9%~23.2%, respectively. The effluent nitrate concentration was 1.10~10.39 mg·L?1 in CWNV, while it was only 0.41~0.91 mg·L?1 in CW0. Under moderate wind speed conditions, aerobic and anoxic/anaerobic zones simultaneously existed in CWNV, which was beneficial to both nitrification and denitrification, so that higher TN removal occurred than CW0. When the wind speed was ≤1.0 m·s?1, the TN removal load in CWNV was 6.70~6.77 g·(m3·d)?1 with 17.2%~23.1% higher than that in CW0. However, the improvement in TP removal efficiency through natural ventilation was limited with only 2.4%~4.8%. The relationships between wind speed and OTR, removal loads or degradation rate constants of COD, NH3-N and TN in CWNV conformed to quadratic equations. Key words:constructed wetland/ natural ventilation/ nitrogen/ oxygen transfer/ organics/ phosphorus.
