Description
Summary:Taking rural dispersed sewage for research objects, the treatment effect and microbial community structure characteristics of a bio filter (BF) reactor was studied. At fixed time and location, the removal efficiencies of common pollutants were investigated. By using high-throughput sequencing method, the heterogeneities of microbial community structure in fillers and plant roots were analyzed. The results showed that the average annual removal rates of CODCr, NH3–N, TN, and TP by the BF were 83.10 %, 65.67 %, 60.25 %, and 80.32 % respectively, and the effluent could reach the first grade of the water pollutant discharge standard of rural sewage treatment facility (DB51/2626-2019). During the sewage treatment process, Scindapsus could effectively establish complex and stable microbial communities, and could better degrade pollutants, especially nitrogen removal. The dominant microbial communities were more than 11 phyla and 19 classes. At the genus level, the dominant bacteria included Nitrospira, Arthrobacter, Rhodoplanes, etc.
