Pollutant Removal Efficiency of a Bioretention Cell with Enhanced Dephosphorization
Low impact development can contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2, 6, 7, 11, and 13, and bioretention cells are commonly used to reduce nonpoint source pollution. However, although bioretention is effective in reducing ammonia nitrogen and chemical oxygen demand (COD) pollution, it performs poorly in phosphorus removal. In this study, a new type of enhanced dephosphorization bioretention cell (EBC) was developed; it removes nitrogen and COD efficiently but also provides excellent phosphorus removal performance. An EBC (length: 45 m; width: 15 m) and a traditional bioretention cell (TBC) of the same size were constructed in Anhui, China, to treat rural nonpoint source pollution with high phosphorus concentration levels. After almost 2 years of on-site operation, the ammonium nitrogen removal performance of the TBC was 81%, whereas that of the EBC was 78%. The COD removal rates of the TBC and EBC were 51% and 65%, and they removed 51% and 92% of the total phosphorus, respectively. These results indicate that the TBC and EBC have similar performance in the removal of ammonium nitrogen and COD, but the EBC significantly outperforms the TBC in terms of total phosphorus removed.
