Overview of Nitrogen Removal in Constructed Wetland and Its Influencing Factors

Abstract

Abstract Nitrogen, as a common substance in water pollution, can easily cause eutrophication of water when it is excessive. Constructed wetland, as a water treatment method that combines the common actions of plants, microorganisms, and substrates, has positive significance for the removal of nitrogen. This article reviews the nitrogen removal mechanism of each component in constructed wetlands, and the effects of temperature, carbon-nitrogen ratio, dissolved oxygen, pH, and HRT on denitrification, and proposes existing problems and research directions in constructed wetlands.
