Groundbreaking Research in Wastewater Management
Researchers from the Harbin Institute of Technology have made a significant advancement in wastewater treatment. Their study, published in Engineering, introduces a unique method to enhance denitrification in constructed wetlands (CWs). The innovative approach utilizes a novel biochar-based substrate, referred to as β-cyclodextrin-functionalized biochar (BC@β-CD). This development aims to tackle the crucial issue of optimizing nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment systems.
This innovative biochar substrate can significantly improve the efficiency of nitrogen removal, particularly under low carbon/nitrogen conditions. By enhancing the denitrification process, BC@β-CD holds promise for addressing environmental challenges linked to nitrogen pollution. This breakthrough could transform the way we approach wastewater treatment, making it more effective and sustainable.
