Transfers and Transformations of Zinc in Flow-Through Wetland Microcosms
ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY(1999)
摘要
Two microcosm-scale wetlands (570-liter containers) were integratively designed and constructed to investigate transfers and transformations of zinc associated with an aqueous matrix, and to provide future design parameters for pilot-scale constructed wetlands, The fundamental design of these wetland microcosms was based on biogeochemical principles regulating fate and transformations of zinc (pH, redox, etc.). Each wetland consisted of a 45-cm hydrosoil depth inundated with 25 cm of water, and planted with Scirpus californicus. Zinc (similar to 2 mg/liter) as ZnCl2 was amended to each wetland for 62 days. Individual wetland hydraulic retention times (HRT) were similar to 24 h, Total recoverable zinc was measured daily in microcosm inflow and outflows, and zinc concentrations in hydrosoil and S, californicus tissue were measured pre- and post-treatment. Ceriodaphnia dubia and Pimephales promelas 7-day aqueous toxicity tests were performed on wetland inflows and outflows, and Hyalella azeteca whole sediment toxicity tests (10-day) were performed pre- and post-treatment, Approximately 75% of total recoverable zinc was transferred from the mater column. Toxicity decreased from inflow to outflow based on 7-day C, dubia tests, and survival of H, azteca in hydrosoil was >80%, Data illustrate the ability of integratively designed wetlands to transfer and sequester zinc from the water column while concomitantly decreasing associated toxicity.
